Metastatic rectal cancer in the ampulla of Vater: A unique case.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2022. 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
backgroundA metastatic lesion located in the ampulla of Vater is considered extremely rare, with only 32 cases reported globally. CASE: A 65-year-old patient was primarily diagnosed with a rectal adenocarcinoma. Twenty-four months later as part of the oncological follow-up, the patient was diagnosed with a single secondary tumor in the ampulla of Vater. After undergoing a pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure), the patient experienced an uneventful recovery and received adjuvant chemotherapy. Sixteen months later the patient remained disease-free.
conclusionTo the best of our knowledge, the present case represents the first reported metastatic tumor in the ampulla of Vater, originating from a rectal adenocarcinoma. This case underlines the critical role of immunohistochemistry in arriving at a correct diagnosis in order to guide clinical decision-making.
