A slowly-growing solitary skip lymph nodule of occult gastric cancer above the neck of pancreas: a case report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundSkip lymphatic metastasis (SK) is an exceptional and characteristic pattern of lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer (GC) with infrequent incidence. This is an extremely rare report of occult gastric cancer with solitary skip lymphatic metastasis as the initial and primary observation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old woman, who complained of epigastric discomfort for several years, presented a solitary nodule upon pancreas neck examination by CT without performance on the primary lesion, even gastroscopy. During the preoperative 4-month follow-up, the nodule stayed stable without any therapy. The postoperative pathological examination confirmed the consistent diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma between the nodule and the stomach lesion, which was found by preoperative random biopsy of the mucosa.
conclusionsThis case highlights the concentration on vigilance to the SK of GC and a closer observation for intra-abdominal nodules, even radiological suspicion of a benign lesion.
