The Effects of Brain Tumours upon Medical Decision-Making Capacity.
Synthesis in Current oncology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewInformed consent is the integral part of good medical practice in patients with brain tumours. Capacity to consent may be affected by the brain disorder or its treatment. We intend to draw upon the current neuro-oncology literature to discuss the influence intracranial tumours have upon patients' capacity to consent to treatment and research. RECENT
findingsWe performed a systematic review of studies of capacity to consent for treatment or research in patients with intracranial tumours. The search retrieved 1597 papers of which 8 were considered eligible for review. Although there are obvious inherent limitations to solely assessing cognition, most research consistently demonstrated increased risk of incapacity in brain tumour patients with cognitive impairment. Specific items in cognitive screening batteries, for example Semantic Verbal Fluency Test (SVFT), Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT-Recall), and Trail Making Test A/B (TMT), are simple, easily applied tests that may act as significant red flags to identify patients at increased risk of incapacity and who subsequently will require additional cognitive/psychiatric evaluation or more formal tests for capacity to consent for treatment or research.
