1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Metastatic lesions to the colon are far less common than primary tumors. Breast cancer metastasis to the colon is rarely reported, and it is often atypical in presentation and difficult to diagnose. We present a case of a diminutive asymptomatic breast cancer metastasis to the colon found during surveillance colonoscopy in a patient with long-lasting ulcerative colitis, which was initially regarded as a colitis-associated dysplastic lesion. Because early detection of metastatic disease plays a key role in the treatment of patients with breast cancer, a high index of suspicion must be maintained for atypical metastatic presentations to the gastrointestinal tract.
