1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Signet ring cell carcinoma, a type of gastrointestinal system-related cancer, rarely metastasizes to the skeletal muscle. We present signet ring-cell carcinoma in a 28-year-old man who presented with left lower extremity pain and swelling. Imaging showed thickening of the distal esophagus, intestines, and bladder wall. Endoscopy revealed friable gastric mucosa and stenosis in the ascending colon, but biopsies were unrevealing. Leg muscle biopsy showed metastatic adenocarcinoma with focal signet ring features. Carcinoembryonic antigen and cancer antigen 19-9 were elevated. A gastrointestinal primary tumor was suspected. Our case urges clinicians to consider this rare cancer in patients presenting with skeletal muscle mass.
