Pancreatic Cancer with a Skeletal Muscle Metastasis-A Case Presentation and Literature Review.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
One-half of patients with newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer will have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, mainly due to its non-specific initial clinical presentation which includes abdominal pain, dyspepsia, weight loss, bowel habit changes, jaundice and pruritus. The signs, symptoms and stage of the disease at initial diagnosis depends on the origin of the primary tumor, with tumors of the head presenting earlier with obstructive symptoms while tumors of the body/tail are often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to their non-specific presentation. The most common sites of metastasis are the lymph nodes, liver, lung, and peritoneum. The presence of metastatic disease in the skeletal muscles is a rare manifestation of pancreatic cancer and has been described in a limited number of cases. We report the case of a pancreatic cancer patient with a solitary muscle lesion as the only site of extra-nodal metastasis upon initial presentation.
