α-fetoprotein-producing gastric carcinoma: A case report of a rare subtype and literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2016. 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
α-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric carcinoma is a rare type of gastric cancer, and the characteristics have not yet been fully elucidated. The present study reports the case of a patient with this type of gastric cancer. A 66-year-old male was referred to the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Qianfoshan Hospital, Shandong University (Jinan, China) with a 20-day history of retrosternal pain. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a thickening of the wall of the cardia and massive lymph node swelling in the region of the lesser curvature of the stomach. A laboratory investigation revealed that the serum AFP levels of the patient were elevated to 46.49 ng/ml (normal level, <12.00 ng/ml), and the serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were 382.22 ng/ml (normal range, <5.00 ng/ml). An endoscopy revealed an elevated tumor and AFP-producing gastric cancer was diagnosed. As the tumor was surgically unresectable, the patient received systemic adjuvant chemotherapy [consisting of 1 cycle of oxaliplatin (150 mg; day 1)-fluorouracil(1.0 g; days 2-6)-calcium folinate (0.3 g; days 2-6), 4 cycles of paclitaxel (80 mg; day 1 and 8, repeated day 21) and capecitabine (1,000 g/m
