A Rare Case of Metastasis of Gastric Adenocarcinoma to the Leptomeninges.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) is defined as the diffuse infiltration of malignant cells throughout the pia and arachnoid membrane. LMC is commonly observed in patients with leukemia, lymphoma, and breast and lung cancer. The prevalence of LMC spread in patients with primary gastric malignancy is very rare. Due to its devastating neurological complications and high mortality, it is difficult to assess the associated clinical features, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors. Current treatment options include intra-thecal chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and supportive care with a median survival of three to four months. LMC is a rare manifestation of gastric cancer and is an extremely fatal disease. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish LMC from other neurological etiologies. We present a unique case of an individual who presented with headaches and was found to have LMC.
