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

purpose of reviewThe management of brain and leptomeningeal metastases has changed significantly over the past decade. RECENT

findingsHistorically, radiation therapy had been the mainstay of treatment. Several strategies to limit toxicities with radiation have been developed in the recent years. Increasingly systemic therapy options are being considered an important therapeutic option for CNS metastases. Numerous novel small molecule inhibitors and immunotherapy agents have intracranial activity to varying degrees, in addition to good extracranial disease control. Overall, the prognosis of select patients with CNS metastases has improved over the past several years with advent of new therapeutic strategies. Systemic therapy options with CNS benefit should be considered in select patients with small and asymptomatic CNS metastases. Further areas of research focus on molecular alterations predisposing to CNS metastases, identification of small molecule inhibitors with CNS activity, and the combination of radiation therapy and immunotherapy.
