Solitary metastasis to the skin and colon from gastric cancer after curative gastrectomy and chemotherapy: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
rationaleGastric cancer usually spread via blood circulation to liver, lung, bone, and kidney after recurrence, but it is extremely rare in clinical practice that gastric carcinoma metastasizes to the skin and colon without metastasis to common sites like liver or lung. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 57-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with altered bowel habit and hematochezia for 2 weeks. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer at stage IIIA (pT3N2M0) two and a half years ago. Cutaneous metastasis from gastric cancer was confirmed by cutaneous biopsy 2 years following curative gastrectomy. Unfortunately, colonic metastasis from gastric cancer was found by PET-CT 6 months after the diagnosis of cutaneous metastasis.
interventionsThe patient was given chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil for the skin metastasis. Right hemicolectomy was performed when the malignant tumor of the colon was found, in order to relieve the symptom, and improve the quality of life. OUTCOMES: The patient was treated with chemoradiotherapy in a local hospital, the peritoneal carcinomatosis occurred 5 months after the second operation, and died 9 months after the diagnosis of colonic metastasis. LESSONS: Our case represents a rare condition that solitary cutaneous and colonic metastasis from gastric cancer can occur after surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy. Its unique clinicopathological features can extend our insights on gastric cancer, and it may provide clinicians with some positive clinical experience for identifying and treating this disease.
