Unusual osseous metastases from rectal adenocarcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionRectal adenocarcinoma typically metastasizes to the liver. When osseous spread occurs, it is most commonly detected in the vertebrae and pelvis. Distal osseous spread is unusual and may be the first presentation of the carcinoma. We present a review of the current literature on unusual osseous rectal adenocarcinoma metastases and highlight a case of a scapular lesion as the first presentation of rectal carcinoma from our institution. MATERIALS AND
methodsA Pubmed search using keywords 'rectal carcinoma metastases,' 'colorectal cancer metastases' and 'skeletal metastases' was performed.
resultsTwenty-four cases were identified (54 % male, mean age at diagnosis 61 ± 16 years). The most common site was the mandible, followed by the foot. In four cases, the metastasis was the first presentation of the carcinoma. Mean time from resection of the primary tumour to osseous metastases diagnosis of skeletal metastases was 26 ± 17 (SD) months. Mean time from diagnosis of skeletal metastases to death was 3.2 (±2.8) months.
conclusionRectal adenocarcinoma osseous metastases located distal to the pelvis and/or vertebrae are rare and associated with a poor prognosis. Unusual bony lesions should raise an index of suspicion for distal carcinoma, including rectal carcinoma.
