Cerebral metastasis from osteosarcoma: "Bone" in the brain.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Although brain metastases from bone and soft tissue sarcoma are uncommon, advances in sarcoma treatment have led to an increasing incidence of them. We present a 23-year-old male with a history of metastatic femoral osteosarcoma, who presented with headache and unsteady gait and was diagnosed with a cerebellar metastasis. CT scan revealed a mass in the left cerebellar parenchyma with large intralesional central calcification and perilesional edema. Corticosteroid treatment led to neurological symptoms resolution, with a rapid tapering. The patient had also lung metastases and we opted to administer systemic treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor cabozantinib. Given the relative radioresistance of osteosarcomas, the patient did not receive radiation therapy.
