Small bowel obstruction caused by hemorrhagic metastatic melanoma: case report and literature review.
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 6 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
Melanoma is one of the most common cancers and causes of death from skin cancer. It is also one of the most common malignancies to metastasize to the gastrointestinal tract. However, the incidence of gastrointestinal metastases from unknown primary cutaneous melanoma is reported to be 4-9%. Despite advances in diagnostic techniques, only 1.5-4.4% of metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are detected before death. We report a patient with no prior history of melanoma who presented with both gastrointestinal hemorrhage and small bowel obstruction. Diagnostic laparoscopy, followed by small bowel resection, was performed after a red blood cell radionuclide scan showed active hemorrhage. Pathologic examination confirmed metastatic melanoma of the jejunum. Additional small bowel resections were required for recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding, confirming two additional metastases. A review of the literature on small intestinal melanoma causing hemorrhage and obstruction is discussed.
