Localized biphasic malignant peritoneal mesothelioma presenting as a rectal tumor.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2020. 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
An 84-year-old male presented with bloody stool. On digital rectal examination, a large and firm tumor was palpated in the anterior wall of the rectum at 2 cm from the anal verge. The colonoscopy revealed an ulcerated mass with smooth margins in the anterior wall of the rectum. Enhanced computed tomography showed a huge tumor in the pelvis, invading rectum, urinary bladder and the prostate, with signs of splenic and peritoneal metastases. Findings from an endoscopic biopsy and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration suggested spindle cell carcinoma. We tentatively diagnosed as spindle cell carcinoma of the rectum and administered panitumumab as palliative chemotherapy. He eventually died at 4 months after the first visit to our institution. The autopsy findings resulted in the confirmed diagnosis as biphasic malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. There are only four previous reports on malignant peritoneal mesothelioma presenting as a colorectal tumor. Although rare, malignant peritoneal mesothelioma should be considered in differential diagnosis of colorectal tumors.
