Metastatic Melanoma to the Stomach: A Rare Case of Tumor Burden Beyond the Skin.
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
Metastatic melanoma is a rare occurrence and is a challenge to diagnose based on the location of spread. The increased incidence in the United States (US) can be attributed to the popularity of tanning beds, an aging population, climate change, public awareness, and better diagnostic tools. Despite the large number of melanoma cases, five-year survival rates remain high; however, survival rates dramatically change with metastatic disease. Melanoma commonly spreads to other skin sites, lymph nodes, the liver, bones, and the brain. We present a rare instance of metastatic melanoma in the stomach in an 81-year-old male patient with nonspecific gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including five years of dysphagia, weight loss, and coughing spells. This case discusses the prognostic implications of metastatic disease, the importance of proper staining with biopsy samples, treatment, and highlights the importance of recurring disease surveillance.
