Brain metastases from pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
unlabelledBrain metastases from pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) are extremely rare. We report the case of a patient with PA treated by chemotherapy for liver and lung metastases. In spite of efficient control of the disease and an overall survival of more than 4 years with chemotherapy, the patient developed brain metastases. Brain metastases were revealed by headaches with mental confusion, and diagnosed by cerebral computed tomography scan. Treatment by radiotherapy could not be started because of the rapid fatal outcome of the disease. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: REFERENCE PUBMED (PMID): 17158774.
