Cerebellar metastasis from colorectal cancer: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. 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
Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with adenocarcinoma as the most common subtype. While metastasis typically occurs in the liver, lungs, and peritoneal cavity, metastasis to the brain, particularly the cerebellum, is exceedingly rare. Case presentation: This report discusses the case of a 50-year-old woman diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma of the descending colon. Over six years, the patient experienced multiple common metastatic sites, including the liver and lungs, before developing a rare cerebellar metastasis. Despite extensive treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy, the disease progressed, ultimately leading to the patient's demise. This case represents the first documented cerebellar metastasis from CRC in Mexico. Conclusion: This case highlights the altered metastatic patterns in CRC due to advanced therapies that extend survival. Clinicians should remain vigilant for metastasis to uncommon sites, such as the cerebellum, especially in patients with prolonged survival. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying such metastatic behavior and optimize treatment strategies.
