Colon metastases as first clinical manifestation of lobular breast carcinoma with no subsequent evidence of breast disease.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A 73-year-old woman was brought to the oestrogen receptor for altered mental status. She was found to be hypotensive and hypoglycaemic and admitted to the intensive care unit. She had a history of chronic watery diarrhoea which had recently increased over the last 2 weeks and was associated with vague abdominal pain. A CT showed bowel wall thickening concerning for colitis. Due to the increasing diarrhoea, a colonoscopy was done after all stool studies came back negative. Polyps in the ascending, transverse and sigmoid colon were found to be tubular adenomas but random colonic mucosa biopsies were revealed to be histologically consistent with metastatic lobular breast carcinoma. Further workup revealed no primary breast disease.
