An Extremely Rare Metastatic Prostate Tumor From Rectal Cancer With Characteristic MRI Findings Due to Necrosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Colorectal carcinomas rarely metastasize to the prostate. Early detection of metastatic prostate tumors can lead to possible cure with less invasive treatment. A 71-year-old man was diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent surgery for it. The postoperative pathological study showed atypical cells growing mainly cribriform and some large necrosis in the tubule-forming structures. After favorable control of the recurrent lesion for 30 months, the MRI showed the right lobe tumor with low signals on diffusion-weighted images. CT clarified the enlargement of the right lobe mass in the prostate four years after the surgery. The patient, therefore, underwent total pelvic exenteration, including prostatectomy. The postoperative pathological study showed metastatic adenocarcinoma from rectal cancer with massive garland necrosis. Diagnostic physicians should note that rectal cancer can, though extremely rarely, metastasize to the prostate and that the presence of garland necrosis can make image diagnosis difficult.
