Colorectal cancer with first known case of simultaneous bilateral tibial metastases.

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
The most common osseous metastatic regions for colorectal cancer are the lumbar and sacral vertebrae and the pelvis. There are few reported cases of isolated solitary tibial metastasis, and simultaneous bilateral solitary tibial metastases in colorectal cancer are even rarer. A 62-year-old female patient was admitted to our inpatient clinic 3 years after receiving initial chemotherapy for a rectosigmoid adenocarcinoma with liver metastasis. The patient complained of left leg pain. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 3- × 3-cm mass in the right proximal tibia and a 2- × 7-cm mass in the middle third of the left tibia; both were highly suggestive of bone metastases. Bilateral tibial metastases were confirmed after tumor excision and prophylactic open reduction and internal fixation. The postoperative course was relatively uneventful. Colorectal cancer with bone metastases is uncommon, and most metastases are found at a single site in an extremity. We believe this is the first published case of simultaneous bilateral tibial metastases in a patient with colorectal cancer.
