Isolated pancreatic metastasis of a malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Article in The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Metastatic malignant mesothelioma of the pleura is uncommon at the time of initial diagnosis. When metastases are present, the major sites always include regional lymph nodes, the contralateral lung, liver, adrenal glands and kidneys. Here, we describe an extremely rare case of isolated pancreatic metastasis of mesothelioma of the pleura in a 40-year-old man who initially presented with epigastric discomfort and hunger pain, which were refractory to medical treatments. The possibility of pancreatic metastatic lesion should be considered in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma in the presence of refractory epigastric tenderness.
