A Rare Presentation of Colon Carcinoma Metastasis Within a Meningioma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Colon carcinoma with brain metastasis is a rare presentation. This presentation is more unusual and unique when the single brain metastatic lesion has two different types of tumors. This rare phenomenon is known as a tumor-to-tumor metastasis. A meningioma usually hosts lung and breast cancers within it. However, colon carcinoma metastasis into meningiomas has rarely been reported. An 86-year-old man presented with neurological symptoms and was found to have a brain mass. The search for primary lesions was negative as the chest, abdomen, and pelvis CT scan was insignificant. When the brain lesion's pathology revealed a composite mass of adenocarcinoma and a meningioma, further investigation with a colonoscopy revealed a colonic mass as the primary metastasis lesion. This unique presentation and pathology emphasize the importance of a comprehensive investigative approach to finding the primary lesions and consideration of such a phenomenon in these lesions.
