1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The colon is an uncommon secondary site for metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. Distinguishing primary colonic carcinoma from metastatic spread of lung carcinoma can be difficult. We present a case of a patient with lung adenocarcinoma who, on abdominal computed tomography scan examination, was found to have a sigmoid tumor that was thought to represent a synchronous primary colorectal adenocarcinoma. Histological examination of endoscopic sigmoid tumor biopsies confirmed this to be metastasis from the lung adenocarcinoma. The patient subsequently developed major rectal bleeding and deteriorated significantly. This case also illustrates the poor prognosis association with colorectal metastasis of lung cancer.
