Breast Cancer Metastasis Masquerading as a Primary Gynecological / Colonic Malignancy: A Rare Diagnostic Conundrum.
Article in Cureus, 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
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy affecting women. Metastatic involvement of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract secondary to a primary breast malignancy is rare. Here, we describe the case of a 60-year-old woman with a history of right lobular breast cancer (diagnosed and treated five years prior to presentation) who presented with fatigue, generalized abdominal pain, distension, weight loss, and vomiting. Her initial imaging was suspicious for a primary gynecological malignancy; however, subsequent workup showed a colonic mass. Total colonoscopy revealed colon metastases, and an immunohistochemical profile favored invasive lobular carcinoma of breast. Most cases of gastrointestinal metastases from breast cancer have lobular histology; however, colonic involvement is rare.
