Anterior abdominal wall metastasis following curative resection and chemoradiation of rectal cancer masquerading as a desmoid tumour: A clinical conundrum.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Desmoid tumour of the anterior abdominal wall (rectus sheath) commonly occurs in women post abdominal surgery. Metastasis from colorectal cancer to the anterior abdominal wall, on the other hand, is rare and produces a complex management dilemma. This Case study presents a 57-year-old woman who received a curative laparoscopic low anterior resection and adjuvant chemoradiation in 2013. Seven years later, she presented with an asymptomatic anterior abdominal wall lump. Clinically, the lump appeared to be a desmoid tumour. A wide local excision of the lump was carried out and the final histopathology showed a metastatic lesion (adenocarcinoma). With adjuvant chemotherapy, the patient is now disease-free and doing well. A possibility of distant metastasis must be kept in mind for all patients, even when they have undergone curative resection with adjuvant chemoradiation for colorectal cancer.
