A case of rectal carcinoid, 7 mm in diameter, with skip metastasis to the lateral lymph node.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The present case study presented a 59-year-old man with a 7 mm submucosal tumor in the lower rectum and swelling in a 7 mm lateral lymph node (the obturator lymph node). No swelling of the lymph nodes within the mesorectum was observed. The patient underwent laparoscopic intersphincteric resection with left side lateral lymphadenectomy. At the pathological examination, the patient was diagnosed with a rectal neuroendocrine tumor (Grade 1; carcinoid), which had invaded the perirectal tissues and exhibited lateral lymph node metastasis; however, mesorectal lymph node metastasis was not observed, therefore, the definitive diagnosis was rectal carcinoid with skip metastasis to the lateral lymph node. No sign of recurrence was observed at the 3 year follow-up. The treatment algorithm of rectal carcinoid was decided by the risk of lymph node metastasis. The present study confirmed skip metastasis to the lateral lymph node from the rectal carcinoid, which is typically very slow growing and has a low grade malignant potential.
