Rectal endometriosis masquerading as dissemination in a patient with rectal cancer: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed as having rectal cancer. A barium enema study showed the apple-core sign at the rectosigmoid colon, and colonoscopy revealed an encircled ulcerated tumor. A laparoscope-assisted resection of the rectum was planned; however, the rectal cancer directly invaded the uterus body. The operation was converted to open surgery. An elastic hard tumor suspected of being peritoneal dissemination at the peritoneal reflection was detected and excised together with the rectum below the peritoneal reflection. A histological examination of this tumor revealed that cystic glands lined by nonmucinous columnar epithelial cells were seen on the serosal side and were embedded in the proper muscle of the rectum. This tumorous lesion was diagnosed as endometriosis.
