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

Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is extremely rare in colorectal adenocarcinoma, its incidence is far less than 1%. The neurological symptoms are pleomorphic. The most common symptoms included Headache, ataxia, cranial nerve palsies, meningismus, focal weakness or numbness. MRI is the most sensitive and specific imaging method for screening, positive diagnosis and pre-treatment of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. The presence of appropriate neuroimaging abnormalities in a patient with typical clinical features and history of colorectal adenocarcinoma enables to make the diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastases. As well as a biological confirmation is necessary. Treatment usually comprises site-specific radiation therapy in addition to intrathecal and systemic chemotherapy. The case aims to describe the MRI characteristics of leptomeningeal metastases so as to formulate the diagnosis and the subsequent treatment.
