Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of the Small Intestine: 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
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract is an extremely rare and aggressive tumor with both epithelial and mesenchymal characteristics, and it typically has a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 74-year-old male diagnosed with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the duodenum. The patient presented with gastrointestinal bleeding and was found to have a vascular tumor in the third part of the duodenum. Initial duodenal biopsies, repeat biopsies, and extensive immunohistochemical analysis confirmed a diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma. Despite radical surgery and multiple lines of chemotherapy, including carboplatin and paclitaxel, the disease demonstrated aggressive progression, ultimately leading to the patient's death two years post-diagnosis. This report highlights the challenges in diagnosing and treating sarcomatoid carcinoma of the small intestine, the limited efficacy of current therapeutic options, and the need for further research to establish effective treatment protocols.
