Cutaneous Metastasis in Colorectal Cancer: A Rare and Overlooked Phenomenon.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies, indicative of poor prognosis, is rare and often involves primary sources like lung, breast, and colorectal cancer (CRC). This case details a 66-year-old male developing a scalp lesion 10 years post colon adenocarcinoma diagnosis. The challenging medical journey included a comprehensive biopsy confirming metastatic CRC in cutaneous tissue through CDX2 and CK20 positivity, emphasizing the importance of advanced diagnostic techniques. Despite medical advancements, the patient's unfavorable prognosis led to succumbing within a year, highlighting challenges in managing such cases and the need for vigilant post-diagnosis care. This report underscores the limited understanding of cutaneous metastasis, emphasizing the role of immunostaining and prompting awareness for early detection and tailored treatment. Further research into atypical metastasis mechanisms is crucial for improved prognostic outcomes and enhanced comprehension of these complex manifestations.
