Rectal cancer diagnosed after resection of isolated brain metastasis.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundBrain metastasis of colorectal cancer is infrequent, and isolated brain metastases are more infrequent. Thus, when neurological symptoms, such as paralysis or disturbance of consciousness appear, there is a high probability that the cancer has spread to other organs. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present a 64-year-old man with a progressive headache, decreased motivation, and aphasia who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the left frontal region. He underwent a craniotomy, and the brain tumor was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. We performed a colonoscopy and diagnosed rectal cancer without other distant metastases. After whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), low anterior resection for primary rectal tumor was performed using a robotic system. The patient was discharged in good condition and received postoperative adjuvant therapy for rectal cancer. He showed no signs of recurrence after 1 year of follow-up.
conclusionsWe described a rare case of rectal cancer that was diagnosed after resection of isolated brain metastasis. A good prognosis was achieved with surgery and WBRT.
