Gastric Metastasis From Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 metastases from solid tumors are rare and often clinically silent. When present, they typically originate from primaries such as the lung, breast, or skin. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), particularly the clear cell subtype, has a known metastatic potential, most commonly to the lungs, bones, and liver. Gastric involvement is extremely uncommon. We report a case of an 83-year-old man with a remote history of clear cell RCC treated with nephrectomy three decades earlier, who presented with melena, epigastric discomfort, and vomiting. Endoscopic evaluation revealed a conglomerate of friable, vegetative lesions in the stomach with signs of recent bleeding. Biopsies confirmed metastasis of clear cell RCC. Computed tomography (CT) imaging demonstrated multiple nodular intraluminal gastric lesions. Given the patient's advanced age, comorbidities, and known distant metastases, surgical treatment was deemed inappropriate. Palliative hemostatic radiotherapy was initiated for symptom control. This case highlights the potential for late gastric metastasis from clear cell RCC and emphasizes the importance of considering metastatic disease in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding, even decades after the initial oncologic treatment. Prompt endoscopic evaluation and histological confirmation are essential for diagnosis, while treatment decisions must be individualized based on disease burden and patient condition.
