Surgical Management of Brain Metastases in the Perirolandic Region.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Brain metastases (BM) are the most frequent intracranial tumors, which may result in significant morbidity and mortality when the lesions involve the perirolandic region. Surgical intervention for BM in the perirolandic region is still under discussion even though prompt relief of mass effect and avoidance of necrosis together with brain edema may not be achieved by radiotherapy. More recently, several researchers attempt to evaluate the benefit of surgery for BM within this pivotal sensorimotor area. Nevertheless, data are sparse and optimal treatment paradigm is not yet widely described. Since the advance in intraoperative neuroimaging and neurophysiology, resection of BM in the perirolandic region has been proven to be safe and efficacious, sparing this eloquent area while retaining reasonably low morbidity rates. Although management of BM becomes much more tailored and multimodal, surgery remains the cornerstone and principles of resection as well as indications for surgery should be well defined. This is the first review concerning the characteristics of BM involving the perirolandic region and the current impact of surgical therapy for the lesions. Future perspectives of advanced neurosurgical techniques are also presented.
