A Rare Case of Pulmonary Lymphangitic Carcinomatosis in a Young Adult with Carcinoma Stomach.
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Pulmonary Lymphangitic Carcinomatosis (PLC) occurs in about 6-8% of patients with lung metastasis and may rarely develop in the course of gastric cancer representing a complication due to diffuse metastasis in the lymphatics of the lungs. A 29-year-old female, admitted with difficulty in breathing and productive cough for one week, was initially evaluated for respiratory tract infection. During evaluation of associated anaemia an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed large ulcerative growth in the lesser curvature of the stomach suggestive of carcinoma. A High Resolution Computed Tomographic (HRCT) scan of the lungs was done for evaluation of the pulmonary opacities on chest x-ray which showed nodular thickening of interlobular septa with peribronchial cuffing and fissural thickening. The biopsy of the gastric ulcer was suggestive of poorly differentiated malignancy. With the cumulative results of the investigations a diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinoma of stomach with pulmonary metastasis as lymphangitic carcinomatosis was made. PLC is an extremely rare manifestation of metastatic gastric cancer. Though associated with an extremely poor prognosis, advanced gastric cancer in younger patients presenting with symptoms and signs of respiratory disease should alert the physician of a possible diagnosis of PLC.
