Merkel Cell Carcinoma Involving the Cerebrospinal Fluid: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in oncology. 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
Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare skin cancer with very low incidence, so community oncologists do not encounter many cases of this pathology in their day-to-day practice. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by MCC is an extremely rare manifestation of this already rare pathology, and so not many cases are available in the literature. Case Presentation: We present a case of an 83-year-old woman that was seen at our facility with MCC involving the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Conclusion: There are no specific guidelines for treatment of MCC involving the CNS, so description of every single case of MCC involving CNS is of utmost importance so as to (a) help increase awareness of this entity among clinicians, (b) highlight different treatment approaches being implemented at different facilities, and (c) eventually help develop best treatment guidelines to treat such cases.
