Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma of the Colon With Spermatic Cord Metastasis.

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
We report a case of metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) of the colon involving the right spermatic cord and testis following a right hemicolectomy. A 53-year-old male presented to our hospital in August 2020 with abdominal distension. Colonoscopy revealed a stenotic tumor in the transverse colon, and curative right hemicolectomy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed colorectal cancer (CRC), classified as Stage IIIc. Postoperatively, capecitabine was administered for six months. In October 2021, the patient revisited our hospital with right scrotal swelling and pain. Although tumor markers were negative, CT revealed a tumor in the spermatic cord. Subsequently, orchiectomy and spermatic cord excision were performed. Histopathological findings confirmed SRC, consistent with the primary colon cancer diagnosed at age 53, and the lesion was considered a metastasis. This case represents an extremely rare occurrence of CRC of the colon, further complicated by metastasis to the spermatic cord, an uncommon metastatic site for CRC.
