Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Cecum Presenting as Spontaneous Perforation.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the colon is an extremely rare condition, and its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Bowel perforation is a very infrequent manifestation of colonic SCC, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature involving sigmoid and splenic flexure perforation. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of ileocecal perforation have been documented in the literature. Here we present a case of cecal SCC that presented with bowel perforation, necessitating emergent surgical intervention. Histopathological examination showed SCC with lymph node metastasis. This case reviews current knowledge and highlights the rare manifestation that these rare tumors can present.
