Aberrant single metastasis to the elbow from primary rectal cancer: a rare presentation.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rectal adenocarcinoma usually metastasizes to the liver and lungs and when it has bone spread, it more frequently involves the vertebrae and pelvis. Thus, aberrant metastasis from a rectal adenocarcinoma to upper extremities with preservation of intra-abdominal organs is very uncommon. We present the case of an 80-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the rectum T4N1M1 with non-axial single bone metastases and with preservation of visceral organs. Anterior resection of rectum after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy were made. The bone metastasis received palliative radiotherapy and was not resected. The patient died 10 months after diagnosis. This clinical situation generally has a poor prognosis. When the patient complains of unusual bone pain it is necessary to suspect a malignant disease and even if extraordinarily rare, rectal cancer must be considered as a possible cause.
