Ureteral metastasis in colorectal cancer: A case report and review of literature.
Article in Urology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common clinical entity. A significant proportion of patients experience metastatic disease, typically in the form of lung and liver spread. We present the case of a CRC cancer patient with distant metastasis to the ureter, causing hydronephrosis. Ureteroscopy and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and the patient was subsequently treated with percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement. Distant spread of CRC to the ureter represents an exceedingly rare phenomenon. This case highlights the importance of heightened index of suspicion for ureteral involvement in CRC when hydronephrosis is identified on staging or surveillance cross sectional imaging.
