Cutaneous Metastasis: A Rare Presentation of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Pancreatic adenocarcinomas are highly malignant tumors. The liver, peritoneum, and, very rarely, the skin are the sites of pancreatic metastases. Cutaneous metastasis is rare, with scalp metastasis being seldomly found. We report the case of an elderly woman who initially presented with ulcerated scalp swellings. The immunohistochemistry analysis of the swollen scalp confirmed the presence of a far-metastasized adenocarcinoma. Imaging of the abdomen performed due to increasing cholestatic jaundice revealed adenocarcinoma located at the head of the pancreas. Cholestatic jaundice was treated by trans-biliary percutaneous drainage. She is currently on a chemotherapy regimen. The patient had a follow-up appointment one month ago for the fourth cycle of gemcitabine and paclitaxel and will continue to follow up until eight cycles of chemotherapy sessions. Cutaneous metastases resulting from pancreatic cancer are a rare occurrence and may occasionally present as the only visible symptom; therefore, they should be included in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions.
