Synchronous Primary Gallbladder and Colon Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report and Systematic Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Synchronous primary malignancies, defined as two or more primary malignancies diagnosed simultaneously or within six months, are uncommon and present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Synchronous primary adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder and colon is particularly rare. We report a case of a 48-year-old female presenting with persistent right upper abdominal pain. Laboratory tests and imaging studies initially suggested xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. However, subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and pathological examination revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder (pT2bN1M0). Further staging with CT and PET-CT scans identified a suspicious mass in the transverse colon, confirmed by colonoscopy and surgical resection as well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon (pT3N0M0). Immunohistochemistry and genetic profiling of both tumors indicated distinct primary origins without loss of mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression. The patient underwent additional liver resection, lymph node dissection, and right extended hemicolectomy. She is currently undergoing further staging and awaiting chemotherapy. A review of English-language literature revealed eight reported cases of synchronous primary gallbladder and colorectal cancer and a total of 13 with synchronous primary malignancy of other organs. Such cases are rare and diagnostically complex cases. Common factors contributing to multiple primary malignancies (MPM) include genetic predispositions, previous cancer treatments, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption. This case underscores the importance of thorough investigation and prompt treatment in patients suspected of having MPM. Advances in diagnostic imaging and molecular profiling are crucial for early detection and tailored therapeutic strategies. Standardized guidelines for managing synchronous cancers are needed to improve patient outcomes.
