Retrograde Balloon-Assisted Deep Enteroscopy in the Diagnosis of Metastatic Melanoma.
Article in Case reports in gastrointestinal medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 74-year-old male with a history of metastatic melanoma presents with persistently abnormal small bowel findings on PET-CT scan. The patient had persistent FDG uptake near the ileocolic junction on imaging, concerning for metastatic melanoma. Capsule endoscopy demonstrated ulcerated mucosa in the distal ileum. This area was biopsied and tattooed via retrograde double-balloon enteroscopy to confirm the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma and facilitate subsequent small bowel resection. The case illustrates a unique case of metastatic melanoma to the small bowel and the utility of capsule endoscopy and balloon-assisted enteroscopy to assist in diagnosis and management of metastatic disease.
