Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma With Skeletal Muscle Metastases: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) malignancies are aggressive, and survival is poor once metastasis occurs. The most common sites of metastatic involvement include the liver, lymph nodes, lung, peritoneum, adrenal glands, bone, and brain, while skeletal muscle (SM) involvement is rare. We report a case of a 68-year-old female who presented with intractable emesis for one month and was found to have a primary GEJ adenocarcinoma measuring up to 6.7 cm. Endoscopic biopsy revealed poorly differentiated GEJ adenocarcinoma with positive AE1/AE3 immunostains. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed metastases to the omentum and left lower extremity SMs, including the proximal adductor longus, adductor magnus, and gluteus minimus. This study reviews the literature on SM metastasis in esophageal and GEJ cancer, GEJ cancer classification, incidence, treatment, and prognosis.
