Successful Resection of Small Intestinal Stenosis After Treatment With an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor for Metastatic Lung Cancer in 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
Gastrointestinal (GI) metastases from lung cancer are relatively rare, and their management strategies and outcomes in the era of immune checkpoint inhibitors are unknown. A 59-year-old man with lung cancer was hospitalized. He presented with vomiting due to a small intestinal metastasis. The metastatic lesion reduced in size with pembrolizumab treatment. However, the patient could not feed orally and required continuous central venous nutrition. Following the recurrence of a catheter-related bloodstream infection, the patient underwent small intestinal resection and gastrojejunal bypass surgery. Surgical specimens from the site of intestinal stenosis showed tumor disappearance and inflammatory cell invasion. GI stenosis due to lung cancer metastasis can persist even after effective treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, surgery for GI metastases should be considered as necessary.
