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

Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma of the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses is a relatively rare tumor. Standard therapeutic modalities include surgery followed by radiotherapy, sometimes with chemotherapy treatment. Despite these treatments, the outcome is poor due to frequent local recurrences constituting the main cause of death among patients; leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is not a frequent event, and its presence indicates short expected survival. The therapy of neoplastic meningitis includes cranial irradiation, intrathecal chemotherapy and high-dose systemic chemotherapy. However, these approaches report important side effects with only modest efficacy. Thus, it is important to discover better treatment for this cancer complication. We present, for the first time, a case of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis from invasive intestinal-type adenocarcinoma treated with temozolomide and cisplatin chemotherapy obtaining a prolonged reduction and stabilization of the lesion improving the clinical condition of the patient.
