Long-term survival after pulmonary resections for multiple metastases from gastric cancer: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2018. 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
introductionThe prognosis of pulmonary resection for metastatic gastric cancer is poor even though solitary metastasis. Long-term survival after pulmonary resections for multiple pulmonary metastases from gastric cancer is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was 67-year old man who underwent a distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer. Wedge resections of the right upper and lower lobes and right lower lobectomy were performed for metastases from gastric cancer at 29 months and 55 months after the gastrectomy, respectively. As of 96 months after the first pulmonary metastasectomy, this patient continues to be recurrence-free. DISCUSSION: Multiple pulmonary metastases after gastrectomy are not considered candidates for surgery. Although systemic chemotherapy is the standard therapy for metastatic gastric cancer, the prognosis is extremely poor. In this case with favorable prognostic factors, such as long disease-free intervals or absence of extrapulmonary metastasis, pulmonary metastasectomy could be a therapeutic option in patients despite the presence of multiple pulmonary metastases.
conclusionsOur case suggests that even in cases involving multiple pulmonary metastases, pulmonary metastasectomy might be an effective therapeutic option that can improve survival.
