Metastatic Jejunal Renal Cell Carcinoma Intussusception Presenting as Melena.
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
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) most commonly metastasizes to the lungs, and it is uncommon for RCC to metastasize to the small bowel. Small bowel metastasis commonly presents with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. In rare cases, a metastatic small bowel mass can serve as a lead point for intussusception. In this report, we present the case of a male patient whose chief complaint was melena. The patient denied any abdominal pain or nausea. Investigation with push enteroscopy revealed a jejunal mass, and further evaluation with CT showed small bowel intussusception. The patient subsequently underwent small bowel resection and anastomosis. Histopathology confirmed that the jejunal mass was metastatic RCC. We present this case in order to showcase the utility of push enteroscopy in the diagnosis of small bowel metastasis in RCC.
