1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths and commonly spreads to the brain, bones, liver, and adrenal glands. Gastric metastases from lung cancer are uncommon and can occur in melanoma, breast cancer, and lung cancer. Most patients show no symptoms at presentation; however, metastasis from lung cancer portends a poor prognosis. This case report highlights a rare instance of lung cancer metastasizing to the stomach in a 60-year-old female that was detected incidentally on a PET scan. The scan showed two new stomach masses with increased FDG uptake and contrast enhancement. The patient had chemoimmunotherapy after receiving palliative radiotherapy to the stomach for gastric metastasis. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion while monitoring gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with a history of lung cancer. Gastric metastases can sometimes mimic primary gastric malignancies on imaging/endoscopy, which can impact initial workup and delay correct diagnosis.
