Distant metastasis in the right inguinal area from gastric cancer: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundGastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Most cases of newly diagnosed gastric cancer involve not only locally advanced tumor growth and regional lymph node metastases but also distant metastases. We report a rare case finding of a mass in the right inguinal area which is derived from gastric cancer. CASE SUMMARY: A 68-year-old male initially diagnosed with an inguinal hernia presented with a 2 cm mass in the right inguinal area. Gastrointestinal symptoms led to the discovery of a stomach tumor. Biopsy confirmed gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis was advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination, and the inguinal mass was due to direct infiltration. Due to gastrointestinal bleeding, the patient underwent palliative gastrectomy and lymph node dissection. Postoperatively, the patient received hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and localized radiation therapy.
conclusionThis case indicates that a systematic evaluation should be conducted during the initial consultation to explore the potential connection between unrecognized distant masses and the primary tumor.
