Gastric Cancer with Radiographically Occult Metastatic Disease: Biology, Challenges, and Diagnostic Approaches.
Review in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 adenocarcinoma is an aggressive cancer that demonstrates heterogeneous biology depending on patient ethnicity, tumor location, tumor type, and genetic profile. It remains the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and was estimated to result in 782,000 deaths in 2018. Challenges exist in accurately assessing the disease burden, as available radiological staging often underestimates metastatic disease. This diagnostic handicap, along with the poor understanding of the heterogeneous biology of gastric cancer, has hindered the development of effective therapeutic solutions and thus halted improvement in patient outcomes over the last few decades. The management of occult peritoneal disease is complicated, as most patients are understaged by standard imaging studies and therefore thought to have local diseases. In this article, we systematically review recent literature on the limitations that are associated with standard radiographic staging, discuss recent molecular biology advances to better identify and diagnose occult peritoneal disease, and propose possible management strategies to approach this complicated clinical problem.
