Malignant Melanoma of the Stomach.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 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
Malignant melanoma with metastasis to the stomach is rare and seldom diagnosed before death. The most common gastrointestinal (GI) metastatic site is the small intestine, followed by the colon, rectum and stomach. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with a history of melanoma who presented with melena and syncope, and was found to have metastatic gastric melanoma. LEARNING POINTS: It is important to consider gastric metastasis in patients with a history of melanoma who present with non-specific abdominal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, melena/haematochezia, weight loss and anaemia.It is crucial to keep gastric melanoma metastasis as a differential diagnosis in a patient with melanoma due to its aggressive nature and poor prognosis if diagnosis is delayed.Appearances can vary greatly at endoscopy, and so immunohistochemistry is vital at histological work-up for the identification of gastric melanoma.
