Primary Gastric Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma (PGSCC) is an extremely rare cause of gastric malignancy. We present a 66-year-old man with a past medical history of stage I left palpebral marginal zone lymphoma status post radiation. The patient was complaining of a two-year history of bloating and early satiety. An upper endoscopy was performed, showing a 2.5 cm polypoid lesion at proximal corpus; however, the cardia and esophagus were normal. Biopsies were positive for gastric squamous cell carcinoma. He underwent partial gastrectomy and was referred to oncology for treatment. In 2011, the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association proposed diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of PGSCC. The clinical presentation of this malignancy does not differentiate from that of other types of gastric tumors. We report this case to highlight squamous cell carcinoma as a cause of primary gastric cancer. Gastroenterologists should be aware of this entity to facilitate prompt referral to specialized centers, where surgical resection can be done.
