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
Background: The prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastasis is poor. The treatment for CNS metastasis could prolong the overall survival of NSCLC patients. We aimed to investigate the prognostic factors of Chinese NSCLC patients with CNS metastasis and the survival benefits of various treatments for CNS metastasis in NSCLC patients with or without driver genes. Methods: Based on the CAPTRA-Lung database, NSCLC patients with CNS metastasis admitted at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2010 and October 2018 were enrolled in the study. The prognostic factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results: Overall, 418 patients were enrolled in the study. A total of 206 patients (49.3%) had CNS metastasis with positive driver genes, while 97 patients (23.2%) had negative driver genes. The median survival time after CNS metastasis was 20.8 months. In the multivariable analysis, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of ≥2 (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.750, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.184-2.588, P=0.005), number of CNS metastases ≥5 (HR: 1.448, 95% CI: 1.084 -1.934, P=0.012), and CNS metastasis developed during treatment (HR: 1.619, 95% CI: 1.232-2.129, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for poor survival. Lung adenocarcinoma (HR: 0.490, 95% CI: 0.279-0.861, P=0.013) and driver gene positivity (HR: 0.464, 95% CI: 0.302-0.715, P=0.001) were independent predictors of prolonged survival. Radiotherapy for CNS metastasis showed a survival benefit in NSCLC patients in the entire groups (HR: 0.472, 95% CI: 0.360-0.619, P <0.001), and in patients with positive driver genes. Conclusion: Performance status, number of CNS metastases, timing of CNS metastasis, histological subtype, and driver gene status are prognostic factors for NSCLC patients with CNS metastasis. Furthermore, radiotherapy improved the survival in NSCLC patients with CNS metastasis.
