Colonic Metastasis in a Patient With Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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 gastric carcinoma to atypical locations can complicate management, often leading clinicians to rely heavily on chemotherapy. While instances of gastric carcinoma spreading to the liver, peritoneum, and lymphatics are well documented in the literature, there is limited evidence of its spread to intraintestinal organs, particularly the colon. This scarcity of reports complicates diagnosis, given the variations in histopathology. This case report highlights a 35-year-old patient diagnosed with colonic metastasis from hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) while being evaluated for potential causes of iron deficiency anemia. A mutation in the E-cadherin (CDH1) tumor suppressor gene is associated with HDGC. Dysregulation of CDH1 leads to tumor proliferation, invasion, migration, and metastasis. Treatment options for gastric cancer include surgical resection with neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy or palliative care with chemotherapy in metastatic disease. Although colonic metastasis from gastric cancer is rare, documented incidents can offer valuable insights that avoid misdiagnosing primary tumors and help guide further management.
