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
Gastric cancer metastasizing to the gingiva is rare. The present study reports a case of maxillary gingival metastasis arising from gastric cancer treated with chemotherapy, surgical excision and radiotherapy. A 55-year-old male, who received chemotherapy with trifluridine/tipiracil for treatment of refractory gastric cancer with multiple metastasis, was admitted to the Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital (Sendai, Japan) in December 2023 because of the right side of the maxillary gingival mass presenting with protruding growth. The size of the tumor was ~20 mm. Tumor excision was performed followed by histopathological diagnosis which revealed a metastatic gingival tumor originating from gastric adenocarcinoma. Consequently, the patient underwent a palliative Radiation Therapy Oncology Group 8502 'QUAD shot' regimen. Although there was no progression of oral lesion, the patient died 3 months after diagnosis of gingival metastasis. The present study reviewed previous case records of gingival metastasis originating from gastric cancer and summarized treatment modalities along with clinicopathological association. In conclusion, the prognosis of patients with metastases to the oral region (MOR) is usually unfavorable. For the management of MOR, a multidisciplinary team approach is necessary to develop appropriate treatment strategies. If there are possibilities to improve prognosis or quality of life, the consideration of combination therapy with radical or palliative intent is warranted.
