First Reported Case of Femoral Facial Syndrome in an Adult: Esophageal Adenocarcinoma as a Progressive Gastrointestinal Manifestation.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 42-year-old female with a past medical history of femoral facial syndrome (FFS) and years of gastroesophageal reflux disease presented to our clinic with symptoms of dysphagia and iron deficiency anemia. On upper endoscopy, esophageal stricture and adenocarcinoma were detected. Unfortunately, the patient developed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) multi-organ failure prior to cancer treatment and died with dignity after choosing comfort care measures. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of FFS in an adult patient. This case also uniquely highlights the rare gastrointestinal manifestations of FFS.
