Dural and Multiple Brain Metastases From Basaloid Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundNasopharyngeal carcinoma is an endemic head and neck cancer in Southern China. The common metastases organs involve bone, lung, and liver. Metastases in the dura and at multiple locations in the brain after a diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 66-year-old man who initially complained of nasal congestion, epistaxis, and hearing impairment. The biopsy of the nasopharynx lesion showed basaloid squamous cell carcinoma. Eight months after conventional therapy, the patient was admitted to our hospital again with the complaint of a headache. A PET/CT scan was performed, revealing multiple metastases. A biopsy of subcutaneous soft tissue from the right upper arm was consistent with the previous biopsy. Palliative chemotherapy was administered. Thereafter, the patient had sudden dysfunction of the right side of the body. MRI demonstrated dural and multiple brain metastases. The therapeutic regimen then consisted of whole-brain radiotherapy, anti-angiogenesis therapy, and immunotherapy.
conclusionsThis case highlights the diagnosis and treatment of uncommon metastases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Clinicians should remain vigilant for metastases during the treatment and follow-up periods.
