Metastases from gastric cancer presenting as colorectal lesions: a report of two cases and systematic review.
Synthesis in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Gastric cancer is common with well-established routes of spread. Metastasis to the colon or rectum is rare; however, we have recently managed two patients with this clinical picture. We present these cases together with a literature review of current practice. A systematic review in PubMed using the terms 'gastric cancer' and 'colorectal metastasis' was performed. The identified papers were screened for relevance and the reference lists of relevant papers were also reviewed to ensure capture of all relevant reports. Twenty-four papers containing 26 cases of gastric cancer with metastasis to the colon or rectum were found. There was wide variation in presentation and practice in these cases, which tended to be in patients with poor histopathological features. Diagnosis is often challenging owing to the unusual radiological appearance and submucosal nature of the metastatic lesions. Treatment ranges from palliative care to radical resection. Colorectal metastases from gastric primary cancer are rare, but cases are reported and should be part of the index of suspicion during the work-up of patients with lower gastrointestinal symptoms and a history of gastric cancer. Treatment options range from aggressive surgical resection to palliative care and should be centred on the patient's fitness and wishes.
