Unexpected Digit: Isolated Acrometastasis to the Fifth Finger in Advanced Lung Cancer.
Article in Cureus, 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
Acrometastasis is a rare manifestation of metastatic disease that affects the distal extremities and can occur as a complication of non-small-cell lung cancer. It is often associated with advanced disease and may coincide with other skeletal or systemic metastases. Management options typically include a combination of surgical intervention, radiation therapy, and systemic treatment. This report presents a case of an isolated acrometastatic lesion in the fifth digit of a patient with stage IV squamous cell carcinoma, without evidence of additional metastatic bone involvement. We explore diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for such presentations and emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in optimizing patient care. We also address the underlying pathophysiology and potential mechanisms contributing to acrometastatic spread.
