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

backgroundTo investigate the neuropsychiatric symptoms and their treatment and outcomes in lung cancer patients with brain metastases (BM), with an attempt to achieve early detection and prompt management of these symptoms.

methodsTen lung cancer patients (8 males and 2 females) with BMs who were treated in our center from 2013 to 2019 were enrolled in this analysis. Without exception, all 10 patients presented with chief complaints of neuropsychiatric symptoms, and BMs were eventually diagnosed. Appropriate treatments were offered, and all patients were followed up.

resultsTwo patients died (case 5 died of sudden massive hemoptysis, and case 6 died after his families refused to receive the invasive treatment). Data on 3- and 5-year survival have been obtained from one patient each. The average follow-up duration was 19.4 months (except that two patients were hospitalized only once, and one patient received the second follow-up visit only 9 days after the first visit).

conclusionsThe possibility of BM from lung cancer should be considered when a lung cancer patient develops neuropsychiatric symptoms, and timely diagnosis treatment should be arranged accordingly.
