Metastatic Brain Tumor in the Cerebellopontine Angle from Gastric Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors are a common type of benign tumors, which are similar to vestibular schwannomas; however, the incidence of CPA metastasis is rare. Moreover, brain metastasis from gastric tumors is a rare occurrence, with an incidence of less than 1% in clinical cases. In this study, we report the case of a 71-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital with symptoms of nausea and gait instability for the past 1 week. He had no remarkable medical history. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor in the left CPA. Intraoperative diagnosis indicated the presence of metastatic papillary carcinoma. Postoperatively, gastric endoscopy revealed a protruding mass on the cardia of the stomach, which was histopathologically similar to that of the resected brain tumor. The patient underwent adjuvant cyberknife radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A prompt biopsy of the brain tumor is essential if any findings suggest malignancy.
