Metastatic large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer to the foramen magnum: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
rationableLarge cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung is rare, especially in the area of the foramen magnum. No previous studies have reported metastatic large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer to the foramen magnum. This paper will be the first time to report this special case. PATIENT CONCERNS: A case of a 37-year-old woman presented with headache that had developed 20 days previously. Imaging examination revealed a circular abnormal signal at the posterior margin of the foramen magnum. DIAGNOSES: The patient we report was diagnosed with a metastatic intracranial tumor.
interventionsThe patient underwent occipital craniotomy. Pathological results showed metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma of the brain. Whole body PET-CT examination showed that fusiform soft tissue shadows could be seen near the hilum of the lower lobe of the left lung. OUTCOMES: The final bronchoscopy pathological results showed the large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung. The patient underwent further chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the oncology department. LESSONS: Diagnosis and treatment of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung are difficult. The prognosis is poorer, and effective treatment is urgently needed.
