Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewLeptomeningeal disease (LMD) is a rare, late complication of systemic cancer and is associated with significant neurological morbidity and high mortality. Here we provide an overview of this condition, summarizing key recent research findings and clinical practice trends in its diagnosis and treatment. We also review current clinical trials for LMD. RECENT

findingsImproved molecular diagnostic tools are in development to enable more sensitive detection of LMD, including circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA. The use of targeted and CNS-penetrant therapeutics has shown survival improvements with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, and select chemotherapy. However, these studies have primarily been phase I/II and retrospective analyses. There remains a dearth of clinical trials that include LMD patients. The combination of patient-specific molecular information and novel therapeutic approaches holds significant promise for improving outcomes in patients with LMD.
