Metastatic Involvement of the Ureter from Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer in a Patient with Multiple prior Malignancies: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in oncology. 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
Introduction: Ureteral metastasis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of malignant disease, with pancreatic cancer as the primary source being particularly uncommon. Because ureteral involvement typically reflects advanced systemic disease and is associated with poor prognosis, early and accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate clinical management. Case Presentation: A 74-year-old man with a history of surgically treated gastric, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers was under routine follow-up after curative resection of pancreatic cancer. Surveillance computed tomography revealed a periureteral mass accompanied by left-sided hydronephrosis. Subsequently, serum tumor marker levels increased, and Conclusion: This case highlights that pancreatic cancer can cause isolated ureteral metastasis even several years after curative surgery. In patients with a history of multiple malignancies, newly identified periureteral lesions should raise suspicion for metastatic disease, and histopathological confirmation is essential to establish the primary origin and guide optimal systemic therapy.
