Incidental discovery of mucinous adenocarcinoma from a suspected inflammatory perianal mass.
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 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
Mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor that may be associated with longstanding perianal fistulas. It represents 6.9% of all anal cancers. The diagnosis of this malignancy can be delayed because the symptoms experienced by people with the disease are usually attributed to the fistula and not to malignant transformation. As a result, the diagnosis of perianal mucinous adenocarcinoma in the setting of chronic perianal fistulas requires a high index of clinical suspicion and specific histological features.
