Medullary Carcinoma of the Colon: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Medullary colon carcinoma (MCC) is a rare neoplasm that differs from conventional adenocarcinoma in clinical, histological, and molecular aspects. We present the case of a 68-year-old man with no significant medical history. Physical examination revealed a distended abdomen, painful on superficial and deep palpation. A pelvic and abdominal computed axial tomography (CT) scan with S/C IV contrast reported a solid tumor lesion with lobulated contours, located intraluminally within the cecum and part of the ascending colon, measuring 80 mm. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy and right hemicolectomy, revealing a tumor of the ascending colon approximately 8 cm in diameter, involving the cecum and proximal region of the ascending colon. The histopathological and immunophenotypic report revealed a medullary carcinoma of the colon. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient remains asymptomatic during follow-up. Given the low frequency of this neoplasm, this case highlights an appropriate approach and management based on scientific evidence, taking into account that timely and definitive surgical treatment allows tumor excision with adequate oncological margins, which can be complemented with adjuvant chemotherapy in advanced stages.
