Gastric metastasis from breast cancer presenting as dysphagia.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 metastasis from breast cancer occurs infrequently and causes non-specific symptoms, usually attributed to the underlying disease. Furthermore, endoscopic findings are almost identical to primary gastric cancer, making the immunohistochemical examination of biopsies necessary for diagnosis. We present the case of a 64-year-old woman who was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer 3 years ago and received chemotherapy with evidence of remission. The patient presented with dyspepsia and progressive dysphagia for the last 6 months, not responsive to PPI treatment. Upper endoscopy revealed partial occlusion of the cardio-esophageal junction and thickened gastric folds resembling linitis plastica. However, immunohistochemical analysis of endoscopic biopsies showed infiltration of gastric mucosa by lobular breast cancer cells, making the diagnosis of gastric metastasis. Therefore, clinicians' awareness of possible gastric metastasis is warranted in patients with a history of advanced breast cancer and severe gastric symptoms.
