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 initial appearance of malignant melanoma localized in the stomach has never been reported previously. We encountered a patient with gastric melanoma in the stomach, which was histologically confirmed to be confined to the mucosa. Case Presentation: The patient, when in her 40s, had undergone surgery for malignant melanoma of the left heel. However, there were no detailed records of pathological findings. The patient had a 4-mm black elevated lesion in her stomach observed on esophagogastroduodenoscopy after the eradication of Clinical Discussion: Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed for gastric malignant melanoma. The margin of the resected malignant melanoma was negative; vascular and lymphatic invasions were not observed, and the lesion was confined to the mucosa. Conclusion: We suggest that even if the first biopsy of a melanotic lesion shows no evidence of malignancy, the lesion should be closely monitored. This is the first reported case of endoscopic submucosal dissection of localized gastric malignant melanoma confined to the mucosa.
