Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma With Occult Involvement of Gluteal Muscles as the Sole Site of Distant Metastases.

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
Lung cancer metastases to soft tissues are rarely reported in the literature. In this report, we discuss a case of a 59-year-old female who presented with worsening shortness of breath for over five months. A CT scan of the chest revealed right upper lobe mass and ipsilateral mediastinal adenopathy. An endo-bronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided biopsy of the involved lymph nodes revealed cellular features consistent with lung adenocarcinoma. MRI of the brain was negative for metastases; however, a positron emission testing (PET) scan showed fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid nodules in the soft tissues of the bilateral buttocks. Tissue biopsy of the buttock lesions confirmed metastases of lung origin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with occult involvement of the gluteal muscles as the sole site of distant metastasis.
