Gastric cancer initially presenting as bone metastasis: Two case reports and a literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Gastric cancer frequently spreads to the regional lymph nodes, liver and lungs following surgery or late in the clinical course. However, an initial clinical presentation of bone metastasis in gastric cancer patients is relatively rare. The current study presents two cases of gastric cancer diffusely metastasized to the spinal vertebrae and with a single metastasis to the trapezium, respectively. The initial presentations were an increased alkaline phosphatase level without any symptoms associated with bone metastasis in the first case and a swelling in the right carpometacarpal joint of the thumb in the second case. These clinical manifestations are also extremely rare in gastric cancer with bone metastasis. The study emphasizes that a diagnosis of gastric cancer should be considered in patients with increased alkaline phosphatase without clinical symptoms or with a single bone metastasis.
