Duodenal Metastasis From Primary Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Distant metastasis from primary lung cancer is mostly seen in the liver, brain, adrenal glands and bones. Small bowel, specifically duodenum is a relatively unusual site for distant metastasis from lung carcinoma. This case reports a rare scenario of upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by duodenal metastasis by a primary lung adenocarcinoma. A 43-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with complaints of progressive hemoptysis for the past three weeks. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm fungating villous mass-like structure in the first portion of the duodenum, with a normal-appearing esophagus and stomach. Biopsies were performed, which were histologically consistent with poorly differentiated malignant. The immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was consistent with metastatic disease from primary lung adenocarcinoma. Due to its rarity, there are no solidified guidelines for the management of duodenal metastasis from lung carcinoma. Our case was challenging due to the extensive metastasis and low functional status of the patient and was ultimately managed with home hospice.
