Colonic Metastasis from Breast Cancer: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Review in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundBreast cancer often metastasizes to the lungs, bones, liver, and brain, colon metastasis from breast cancer (CMBC) is extremely rare. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 63-year-old female. Mastectomy had been performed for breast cancer (pStage IIB) 15 years earlier at another hospital. Metastasis to the lumbar spine had been detected 4 years prior to referral to us and the patient had undergone hormonal therapy with an aromatase inhibitor. Furthermore, early primary sigmoid colon cancer had been endoscopically resected 2 years before referral. The patient was diagnosed with cancer recurrence in the colon at follow-up examinations performed 2 years after that endoscopic resection. After referral to our hospital, laparoscopic sigmoidectomy was performed. Based on the histopathological examination and immunohistological staining results (positive for cytokeratin 7, GATA-binding protein 3, estrogen receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor-related 2 (2+); negative for cytokeratin 20, progesterone receptor, E-cadherin, gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 and caudal-related homeobox 2) the final pathological diagnosis was CMBC.
conclusionAlthough extremely rare, the possibility of CMBC should be considered in the case of colonic tumors in patients with a history of breast cancer.
