A case of Ménétrier's disease localized to the gastric antrum without helicobacter infection or hypoalbuminemia.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionMénétrier's disease (MD) is a rare gastric disorder closely associated with Helicobacter pylori infection characterized by enlarged gastric mucosal folds and hyperplasia of surface mucus-secreting cells classically localized to the gastric body. This disease has significant morbidity and mortality secondary to hypoproteinemia, gastric obstruction, hemorrhage, and increased risk of adenocarcinoma. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a 53-year-old female who presented with severe epigastric pain, anorexia, weight loss, and prandial vomiting with serum albumin and chloride levels in the normal range. After serial upper endoscopy with biopsy identified nonspecific inflammatory changes in the absence of H. pylori, surgical exploration was performed with intraoperative tissue samples revealing nondysplastic, foveolar hyperplasia. Gastric antrectomy was performed with gross and microscopic examination verifying the diagnosis of MD. DISCUSSION: The unusual presentation of this case differentiates it from other known cases due to the rare localization of the disease to the gastric antrum, the absence of H. pylori infection, and the uncharacteristically normal serum albumin level on presentation.
conclusionThis case may represent an unreported subset of MD where limited surgical resection is demonstrated to offer an exceptional outcome.
