Renal Cell Carcinoma Masquerading as Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Article in Case reports in medicine, 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
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a medical emergency with most common cause being peptic ulcer disease (PUD) or variceal bleeding. However, cancers that cause UGIB by invading the small intestine are uncommon, and the invasion of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) into the duodenum is an even rarer occurrence. A 55-year-old male presented with melena and right flank pain. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed an active bleeding source in the duodenum, later identified on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) as a duodenorenal fistula (DRF) caused by direct extension of the RCC. The imaging confirmed the presence of a malignant renal mass infiltrating adjacent organs. This atypical presentation of RCC with DRF manifesting as UGIB underscores the importance of comprehensive evaluations in cases of gastrointestinal bleeding to identify rare underlying causes.
