Brain metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with uncommon EGFR mutations: a report of seven cases and literature review.
Article in Cancer biology & medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Brain metastasis (BM) arising from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with rare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations is quite rare. The prognosis and therapeutic effects of BM remain enigmatic. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to make a separate analysis of BM from NSCLC patients with original uncommon EGFR mutations. We retrospectively reviewed 7 cases of BM arising from 42 cases of uncommon EGFR mutated lung cancer in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. We also performed a literature review to assess therapeutic features and outcomes.
