Laparoscopic Resection of an Isolated Myometrial Metastasis From Ileocecal 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 67-year-old woman was diagnosed with ileocecal cancer presenting with intestinal obstruction. She underwent an ileocecal resection and D3 lymph node dissection. Pathological diagnosis showed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT4aN0M0. Adjuvant chemotherapy using oxaliplatin and capecitabine was administered for six months. A CT scan one year after the initial operation revealed a myometrial nodule measuring 3 cm in diameter as a new lesion. We resected the myometrial nodule using laparoscopy, and no peritoneal metastases were observed. The intraoperative frozen section was suggestive of myometrial metastasis originating from colon cancer. Peritoneal washing cytology was negative for malignancy. Subsequently, a laparoscopic total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. The results of immunohistochemical stains were consistent with the patient's known colon cancer. The resected uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes were found to be free of metastatic colon cancer. We diagnosed the uterine lesion as an isolated myometrial metastasis from colon cancer and proceeded with surveillance without additional adjuvant treatment. She is alive and well one year after the second operation. When uterine metastasis from colon cancer is uncertain on cross-sectional imaging, laparoscopy is a useful tool for making an accurate diagnosis and exploring other intraperitoneal lesions.
