The Debut Signal of Bone Metastasis and Stealthy Gastric Cancer Unmasked in a Young Male: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Gastric cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. The occurrence of bone metastases (BM) in gastric cancer without prior gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms is a rare phenomenon that has been sporadically documented in the existing literature. We report a case of a 27-year-old male presenting with chief complaints of severe backache for one month. After an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy, the primary source of cancer was identified as a solitary gastric adenocarcinoma, supporting the diagnosis of bony metastases on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine. The patient was planned to start on palliative chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel {FLOT} regimen) with palliative radiotherapy of 20 Gy in five fractions to bony metastasis. The patient denied treatment and was discharged against medical advice.
