A Poorly Differentiated Esophageal Neuroendocrine Carcinoma With Brain Metastasis.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2023. 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
Esophageal neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are a rare type of esophageal neoplasm that can initially present with vague signs and symptoms. Gastrointestinal manifestations, such as dysphagia and abdominal discomfort, are the most common symptoms of neuroendocrine neoplasms. Although there is a potential for distant metastases because of esophageal NEC, few cases of brain metastasis have been reported. We report a rare case of an esophageal NEC metastasizing to the brain region.
