Compressive myeloradiculopathy from bony metastasis as the initial presentation of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma stomach - a case report.
Article in The Australasian medical journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Carcinoma of the stomach rarely disseminates to bone. We report a case of compressive myeloradiculopathy from extensive metastases to the spine, which on evaluation originated from adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed osteolytic and osteosclerotic metastases. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed ulcerative growth in the stomach that on biopsy showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. This case is unique in that the initial presentation of gastric cancer itself was bony metastases without any gastrointestinal symptoms or liver involvement. Moreover, metastases were osteosclerotic as well, which is against the general belief that gastric cancer produces only osteolytic secondaries.
