Neurosurgical management of patients with brain metastasis.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 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 is a serious complication in patients with systemic cancer. The main goal of the treatment in patients with brain metastasis is to control the disease in the brain, to prevent death from neurological disease and provide a satisfactory quality of life. Management of a patient with brain metastasis is important and sometimes demanding, and several factors such as tumor histology, status of primary disease, number of brain lesions, size of lesions, and performance status may influence the decision making process. We reviewed the neurosurgical treatment modalities in patients with metastatic brain tumor and suggested a treatment paradigm for different clinical conditions. The PubMed database was searched using combinations of search terms and synonyms for "management of brain metastasis," "stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastasis," and "surgery for brain metastasis" between January 1, 1990, and January 1, 2018. This review would guide physicians to solve challenging problems in the treatment of patients with brain metastasis. In summary, local aggressive treatments such as surgical resection and stereotactic radiosurgery are reasonable in patients with limited intracranial disease, controlled primary disease, and high performance status. Besides, WBRT is still the standard treatment in patients with low performance score and leptomeningeal dissemination of cancer.
