Brain Metastasis in a Young Patient: Consider the Rectum.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Approximately 20% of patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer present with distant metastatic disease. Brain metastasis from colorectal cancer is uncommon and usually associated with metachronous metastases in other organs. We describe a rare case of a 49-year-old patient presenting with headaches and left-sided weakness found to have a solitary brain metastasis from primary rectal cancer. Primary rectal cancer, young age, lung and liver metastases, and KRAS mutation are risk factors associated with brain metastases in patients with colorectal cancer. Intracranial imaging should be considered as part of the workup in the staging of colorectal cancer in patients who are at high risk of brain metastasis.
