Metastatic Hypopharyngeal Carcinoma Involving the Stomach: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy constituting a small proportion of all head and neck cancers. While it has significant metastatic potential, spread to the stomach is exceedingly rare. A case of HSCC with metastasis to the stomach is presented, along with a review of the relevant literature. A 71-year-old male patient with a history of HSCC was admitted to the hospital for melena and anemia. Prior to this presentation, he had documented metastases to the lungs and small bowel. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) demonstrated a friable, non-bleeding gastric ulcer with raised margins. Biopsy findings were consistent with metastatic HSCC. He was considered for enrollment in potential oncological clinical trials. We find that while metastasis to the stomach can occur in certain cancers such as breast, lung, and renal cell carcinoma, it is not common in hypopharyngeal cancer. A review of the literature reports only three previous cases. Multiple potential therapeutic molecular biomarkers have been identified for metastatic HSCC. The endoscopist should always consider metastatic disease when evaluating malignant stomach ulcers.
