Article in Der Radiologe, 2021. 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
The aim of this work is to outline the principles of interdisciplinary treatment of brain metastases. Interdisciplinary treatment is determined by the clinical situation, anatomical conditions and tumor entity and has the goal of reducing toxicity. Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-CT are used to diagnose brain metastases. Neurosurgery is used for accessible, symptomatic metastases. For localized metastases, including multiple metastases, that are surgically inaccessible, radiosurgery is used. If possible, partial brain irradiation is preferred to whole-brain irradiation. Protection of the hippocampus during whole-brain radiotherapy reduces therapy toxicity. In emergency situations, steroids provide effective support and a neurosurgical intervention may be life-saving. The options for systemic drug therapy are increasing.
