1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionSecondary breast metastasis from the colonic origin is a rare phenomenon in the literature, and an estimation of an increase in the incidence has been reported in the literature to reach approximately 7%. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of a 56-year-old male with constipation who underwent extended right hemicolectomy after confirmation of adenocarcinoma of the right colon. The patient was diagnosed with multiple metastases over 5 years and endured numerous resections of the costal margins, ribs, diaphragm, liver wedges, abdominal wall, and the small bowel. Eventually, the patient's right breast mass measured about 2.1 cm on ultrasonography and revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the same colonic origin. The patient started on palliative chemotherapy and was deceased after 11 months. DISCUSSION: Comparing this case to the 56 similar cases, we found our case with an almost average time to metastasize but unfortunately with aggressive metastatic behavior to various organs. Nevertheless, the triple assessment of the breast by physical examination, radiological, and pathological studies assisted in diagnosis and early establishment of the treatment. Currently, there is no definitive guideline for the management of secondary breast metastasis from the colonic origin. We estimated the average survival rate as 6.1 months, and it was reported to reach an average of 8-10 months in the literature.

conclusionDuring the surveillance program of colorectal cancer, a full-body examination is warranted. Secondary breast cancer metastasis from colorectal origin behaves aggressively and a multidisciplinary approach is essential for the establishment of personalized treatment.
