Beyond the Bowel: Lung Cancer Presenting as Complicated Diverticulitis.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lung cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages frequently metastasizing to organs like the liver, adrenal glands, brain and bones. However, gastrointestinal metastasis, especially to the small intestine, is rare. We report a patient who presented with a perforated small bowel, requiring emergent laparotomy. Imaging suggested an infectious process, but subsequent workup revealed jejunal perforation and poorly differentiated lung cancer. Despite being a candidate for immunotherapy alone, the patient opted for hospice. This case emphasizes the atypical presentation of lung cancer as a gastrointestinal complication and underscores the importance of keeping malignancy in the differential for a perforated small bowel.
