1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCutaneous metastasis is a rare event associated with poor prognosis for gastric cancer and has been rarely reported in the literature. CASE SUMMARY: A 69-year-old male patient who had undergone salvage gastrectomy and a few courses of adjuvant chemotherapy 3 mo earlier for recurrent gastric cancer developed widespread cutaneous metastases. Due to the patient's intolerance to further adjuvant chemotherapy, he was placed in hospice care and expired 1 mo later. In the literature, gastric cancers are rarely reported as the primary malignancies for cutaneous metastasis. We, thus, provide an update on a case review published in 2014 by reviewing 10 more case reports dated from 2014 to 2020. The average age for the new group of patients was 59.4 ± 18.88-years-old. Thirty percent of the patients presented with cutaneous lesions and advanced gastric cancer synchronously while 70% developed cutaneous metastases 1.3 years to 14 years after the initial treatment for primary gastric cancer. Eighty percent of the patients received either local excision or chemo ± radiation therapy to treat their cutaneous metastases.

conclusionThis report highlights cutaneous metastasis as a late and untreatable metastasis of gastric cancer.
