A Rare Case of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma With Incidental Synchronous Hepatic and Sigmoid Colonic Metastasis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Metastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma to the colon is a very rare condition that might be underdiagnosed and underreported in the literature. We report a very rare case of incidental findings of sigmoid metastasis secondary to pancreatic adenocarcinoma in a 60-year-old Saudi male, who is a non-smoker with a normal medical and surgical history. The patient presented to a primary care clinic with abdominal bloating and vague on/off abdominal pain for almost 1 year as well as unintentional weight loss without lower gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. After the case was discussed in the multidisciplinary tumor board, the patient was started on systematic palliative chemotherapy. However, after receiving the first cycle, he started to deteriorate rapidly and succumbed to secondary cardiopulmonary arrest. Cases of synchronous metastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma to the colon might not be well known or common. However, a high index of suspicion and individualizing the workup tools may need to be used.
