Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of colon presenting as a parietal abscess.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2012. 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
Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract is relatively uncommon. It is associated with a poor prognosis and behaves more aggressively. We report a case of metastatic growth in the ascending flexure of the colon that had eroded into the anterior abdominal wall muscles and resulted in a large parietal abscess. She had undergone radical hysterectomy followed by radiation therapy for stage II carcinoma of the uterine cervix 14 months back. Ultrasound guided drainage of the abscess was done as an emergency procedure to control the sepsis. After 3 days an extended Right Hemicolectomy with stapled ileo colic anastomosis was done with resection of a part of abdominal wall adherent to the growth with a grossly normal margin. Histopathological examination confirmed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. She is disease free 2 months after surgery. Surgical management of the metastatic tumour was palliative but necessary to prevent intestinal obstruction in future.
