1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Meningeal carcinomatosis is the diffuse infiltration of the meninges by metastatic carcinoma. A 62-year-old man presented with a sudden onset of profound hearing loss affecting both ears. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed increased signal intensity on T1-weighted images of both vestibulocochlear nerves. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a large type 3 gastric cancer, and the pathological diagnosis was poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Although combination chemotherapy with oral S-1 and weekly paclitaxel and radiation therapy were performed, the patient's condition gradually worsened, and he eventually died 12 weeks after the onset of deafness. Isolated bilateral hearing loss is therefore considered to be a rare first manifestation of meningeal carcinomatosis.
