Unmasking the Origin of Cutaneous Metastasis: 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 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
Cutaneous metastasis typically represents a late manifestation of internal malignancy. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with a history of cervical cancer who presented with lower abdominal pain. Imaging studies revealed a high-grade carcinoma involving the urothelium, suggestive of primary urothelial carcinoma. Further investigation uncovered widespread metastatic disease, including cutaneous metastases to the arm and pelvis. Despite a comprehensive diagnostic workup, including immunohistochemical analysis, the primary tumor site could not be definitively identified, underscoring the challenges in diagnosing cutaneous metastases of unknown origin. This case highlights the necessity of considering metastatic disease in patients with atypical skin findings. Moreover, it emphasizes the aggressive nature of cutaneous metastases, particularly those originating from urothelial carcinomas, which are associated with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options.
