Colon mass: a rare site of metastasis for squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 61-year-old man with a past medical history significant for heavy alcohol consumption and an extensive smoking history presented with a left neck mass which was diagnosed as a pT3N2bM0 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the submandibular gland. The patient was later found to have recurrence with mediastinal metastasis despite adjuvant chemoradiation. He subsequently developed abdominal distention with computed tomography revealing an ascending colon mass and findings concerning for perforation. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy with right hemicolectomy. Surgical pathology was consistent with metastatic SCC.
