Ménétrier's disease with coexistent signet ring cell carcinoma: a rare presentation with peritoneal metastasis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 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
Ménétrier's disease (MD) is an uncommon hypertrophic protein-losing gastropathy marked by hypertrophied gastric rugae and hypoalbuminaemia. While MD increases the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma, its correlation with signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is exceptionally uncommon. We present a woman in her 50s, who had abdominal pain and emesis. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated significantly hypertrophied rugal folds accompanied by oedematous mucosa, whereas histopathological analysis indicated foveolar hyperplasia compatible with mucosal disease. A minor concentration of signet ring cells was also seen, corroborated by periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging exhibited low-grade fluorodeoxyglucose uptake and omental stranding, whereas ascitic fluid and omental biopsy confirmed metastatic SRCC deposits. The case was addressed with palliative chemotherapy. This appears to be the inaugural documented instance of MD linked to SRCC from the Indian subcontinent. This research emphasises the significance of thorough histological analysis in MD, since the distinctive foveolar hyperplasia may conceal modest malignant foci.
