Metastatic melanoma presenting with dyspepsia: a case report.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The gastrointestinal tract is an uncommon site for metastasis. Gastrointestinal metastasis of melanoma is usually asymptomatic, often affects the small intestine (81.1%) and the colon (15.1%), and rarely affects the stomach. Our patient was a 40-year-old man presenting with gradually worsening dyspepsia of a few weeks' duration. He did not mention other gastrointestinal symptoms, and he was not anemic. He had a history of auricular melanoma, which was resected. A black lesion with a diameter of approximately 20 mm was detected in the body of his stomach during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Biopsies were taken, and the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma was confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). A gastrointestinal work-up, computed tomography (CT), and positron-emission tomography (PET) did not reveal additional lesions. The lesion in the stomach was resected, and a new course of chemotherapy was initiated. A lower threshold should be considered for gastrointestinal work-up in patients with melanoma.
