Frequency of metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract determined by endoscopy in a community-based gastroenterology practice.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is rare. We performed a retrospective analysis to identify patients with metastatic disease to the gastrointestinal tract using two databases containing pathology results from all endoscopic procedures conducted by nearly 200 gastroenterologists in a community setting over a 14-year period. Forty-nine patients were diagnosed with metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract by endoscopy during the study period. Most were women (71%). The most common metastases to the gastrointestinal tract identified by endoscopy were breast cancers (n = 18), followed by melanomas (n = 12), ovarian cancers (n = 7), kidney cancers (n = 5), prostate cancers (n = 2), lung cancer (n = 1), and pancreatic cancer (n = 1). Three patients had unknown primary sites. Among women, the three leading known primary tumor sites were breast, ovary, and melanoma. Among men, the three leading primary tumor sites were melanoma, kidney, and prostate. The stomach was the most common portion of the gastrointestinal tract involved by metastases. Most affected women and were most frequently encountered in the stomach.
