A case report of ductal carcinoma of the breast metastasizing to the bowel.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women. Frequent metastatic sites include liver, lungs and bone. Gastrointestinal metastases are a rare entity. We report a case of ductal carcinoma metastasizing to the sigmoid colon. A 74-year female was found to have a mass at her sigmoid colon on surveillance colonoscopy. The initial histology showed poorly differentiated carcinoma. Further immunohistochemical staining revealed poorly differentiated metastatic ductal breast carcinoma 27 years after her primary breast cancer. She proceeded to resection and had an uneventful recovery. She remains alive with stable retroperitoneal lymph node and tail of pancreas metastatic disease.
