Solitary esophageal metastasis ten years after curative resection of stage I rectal adenocarcinoma: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2026. 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
backgroundWe report an exceptionally rare case of a solitary esophageal metastasis occurring in the tenth year after curative resection of stage I (pT2N0M0) rectal adenocarcinoma. This represents one of the longest reported intervals to esophageal metastasis from colorectal cancer, challenging the conventional understanding of metastatic potential of early-stage tumors. CASE SUMMARY: A 42-year-old male underwent curative resection for rectal adenocarcinoma (pT2N0M0, stage I) in 2015. Ten years later (2025), he presented with progressive dysphagia. Imaging and endoscopy revealed a mid-esophageal tumor with mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Initial biopsy suggested primary esophageal adenocarcinoma. After two cycles of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy, dysphagia worsened. However, a multidisciplinary team re-evaluation, utilizing comparative immunohistochemistry for the esophageal lesions and rectal specimens, confirmed the diagnosis as a solitary esophageal metastasis from rectal adenocarcinoma (
conclusionThis case underscores the risk of early tumor recurrence or metastasis beyond standard follow-up windows thus long-term follow-up is necessary.
