Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus to the submandibular gland-the imaging and pathological features of a rare phenomenon.

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 disease affecting the submandibular gland is a rare entity, with just over a 100 cases documented. We present the case of a 55-year-old female with an apparently operable oesophageal primary adenocarcinoma, who was identified on staging PET scan and confirmed on ultrasound-guided biopsy to have metastatic disease in her left submandibular gland. The imaging and pathological findings are presented and compared with the current body of literature. Previously recognized primary sites of metastasis include the breast, thyroid, lung and genitourinary organs. We believe this to be the first documented case of oesophageal adenocarcinoma metastasising to the submandibular gland.
