Colorectal Metastasis from Ovarian Neoplasm Mimicking Primary Colon Cancer.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Metastasis to the colon from another primary internal malignancy is an untypical and a seldom reported entity. Direct visualization during colonoscopy is considered the gold standard of diagnosis. Pathologic diagnosis with immunohistochemical staining is essential to differentiate primary colorectal malignancy from secondary metastasis to the colon. We, hereby, present a case of a 53-year-old female status-post resection of left-sided papillary serous ovarian neoplasm who presented 2 years later with a single rectosigmoid intraluminal ulcerative mass imitating a primary colon cancer. Biopsies of the mass were consistent with metastasis from her primary ovarian carcinoma. We believe this case is unique because of the rarity of ovarian cancer metastasizing to the colon intraluminally rather than through direct locoregional invasion. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of considering secondary metastasis in patients with previous history of another primary internal malignancy.
