Foot Metastasis: Review of 38 Cases.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acrometastases are rare and account for approximately 0.1% of metastases. The most common primary cancer site is the lung, followed by colorectal and genitourinary system. We searched PubMed (www. pubmed.com), Google scholar (www.scholar.google.com), Science Direct (http://www.sciencedirect.com), and Springer (http://link.springer.com) databases, using a combination of controlled vocabulary and text word terms and reviewed the last 10 years literature in order to describe demographic trends, anatomical distribution, the most common primary sources of malignancy, and survival rates in the reports of foot metastases. In conclusion 38 cases were included in this review analysis. Lung and genitourinary system were the most frequent primary sites. Forefoot was involved in 71% of all metastases to foot either alone or in combination with other areas of the foot. Calcaneus was involved in about 23% of patients either alone or in combination with other foot bones.
