1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Here, we report a rare case of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) initially detected as a gastric metastasis. A 58-year-old man with epigastric discomfort underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which revealed a reddish semi-pedunculated lesion with a whitish coating. Biopsy and imaging confirmed clear cell RCC metastasis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a primary renal tumor with pancreatic and lymph node metastases. Despite chemotherapy treatment, the patient died after 10 months. Gastric metastases from RCC, although rare, should be considered in highly vascular gastric lesions with white coatings. Clinicians must be vigilant for metastatic diseases with atypical gastric findings.
