Upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage caused by duodenal metastasis from primary lung cancer: A case report.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Duodenal metastases from primary lung carcinoma are uncommon. They usually occur in terminal-stage disease. Bleeding, as the first presentation of duodenal metastases, is rare. This case reports a rare mechanism of upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a metastatic involvement of the duodenum and gastroduodenal artery. A 58-year-old man with a past medical history of pulmonary carcinoma presented an episode of hematemesis of great abundance with melena. On physical examination, he was afebrile and pale. The biological data found an anaemia with haemoglobin at 6 g/dL. The upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a congestive duodenal lesion with signs of recent bleeding. An angio CT scan localized the bleeding from the gastroduodenal artery. A few hours later, the patient presented a recurrent episode of hematemesis with deglobalization. So we performed a radiologic embolization of the gastroduodenal artery. Haemorrhage as the first presentation of small bowel metastases is rare, especially when these are located in the duodenum, with a poor prognosis. Radiological embolisation could be the best choice for treatment.
