Genetic Predisposition and Multifocal Cancer: A Complex Case of Lynch Syndrome.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This case report describes the complex presentation and management of a 35-year-old man with synchronous malignancies: A well-differentiated grade 2 neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas metastasized to the liver and bone, and invasive adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. Strong clinical suspicion for Lynch syndrome arose due to the patient's family history and the loss of MSH1 and PMS2 protein expression in the colon adenocarcinoma. The patient presented with hypoglycemia, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. A multidisciplinary approach confirmed the diagnoses, including imaging studies (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging), biopsies, and immunohistochemistry; treatment involved endocrine management for hypoglycemia, planned surgical intervention (distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, hepatic ablation), and consideration of systemic chemotherapy. Genetic testing for Lynch syndrome was initiated to guide long-term management and family screening. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of managing multiple synchronous cancers, the importance of considering hereditary cancer syndromes, and the necessity of a coordinated multidisciplinary approach for optimal patient outcomes.
