Non-osseous soft tissue metastasis in the foot from renal cell carcinoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Metastatic tumours of the distal extremities, also known as acrometastases, are rare. The majority of the acrometastases involve bones-involvement of the soft tissues of the feet and hands is extremely rare. We report a case of clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasised to the soft tissues of the foot. The patient presented with pain and swelling in his right foot. Diagnosis of acrometastases frequently gets delayed due to the rarity of this condition and resultant low clinical suspicion. Possibility of metastatic disease should be entertained as an important differential diagnosis when patients with a history of cancer present with musculoskeletal symptoms. A systematic evaluation incorporating thorough clinical assessment, advanced imaging techniques like MRI and pathological examination is critical to establish the diagnosis.
