Sister Mary Joseph's Nodule as a Cutaneous Expression of Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.

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
A Sister Mary Joseph's nodule (SMJN) is characterized by a palpable umbilical nodule and is often a clinical indicator of the metastasis of an advanced abdominal or pelvic malignancy. Observing the cutaneous manifestation of an abdomino-pelvic malignancy is a relatively rare phenomenon due to the appearance of visible changes in the later stages of the disease. With the pancreas being a less common primary tumor site for SMJN, this case report describes a 57-year-old male diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma with a SMJN. With a history of alcohol use disorder and alcohol pancreatitis, this patient presented to the Emergency Department with worsening abdominal pain and vomiting. A computed tomography (CT) scan with intravenous (IV) contrast revealed a mass in the patient's rectum and a lobulated mass traversing the anterior abdominal wall, which extended into the umbilicus. A physical exam revealed the presence of an umbilical lesion. A biopsy of the umbilical lesion revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma that favored pancreaticobiliary origin. The results of the umbilical biopsy and CT imaging established the diagnosis of SMJN secondary to pancreatic cancer metastasis to the umbilicus.
