Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis and bilateral internal auditory canal metastases from ovarian carcinoma.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Ovarian cancer, a leading cause of death in women, typically spreads locally and rarely metastasizes to the brain or seeds the leptomeninges. We present a case of a 62-year-old woman with a history of treated ovarian cell carcinoma who developed bilateral sensorineural deafness and right-sided facial weakness and on imaging was found to have bilateral internal auditory canal (IAC) masses and leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, pathologically proven by cerebrospinal fluid cytology. We discuss her magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography-computed tomography findings and review the imaging characteristics of IAC metastases. Finally, we review the literature on leptomeningeal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer and discuss the high incidence of bilateral IAC metastases in patients with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
