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

Gastric cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, particularly in East Asian countries, despite advances in systemic therapy and the development of novel targeted and immune-based treatments. Due to its aggressive biological behavior, gastric cancer frequently metastasizes to the liver, peritoneum, lymph nodes, lungs and bone. Although extremely rare, pulmonary vein metastasis is clinically significant as it can cause embolic events in vital organs, including multiple cerebral infarctions. The present report describes an extremely rare case of cerebral infarction secondary to pulmonary vein metastasis originating from a gastric adenocarcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, the current case is the first documented case of its kind.
