1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Metastases from cells outside of the central nervous system are the most common cancer found in the brain and are commonly associated with poor prognosis. Although cancer treatment is improving overall, central nervous system metastases are becoming more prevalent and require finesse to properly treat. Physicians must consider the biology of the primary tumor and the complex neurological environment that the metastasis resides in. This can be further complicated by the fact that the practice of cancer management is constantly evolving and therapy that works outside of the blood-brain barrier may not be effective inside of it. Therefore, this review seeks to update the reader on recent advancements made on the three most common sources of brain metastases: lung cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma. Each of these malignancies has been the subject of intriguing and novel avenues of therapy which are reviewed here.
