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

Brain metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare event with limited research. In this report, we discuss the details of a case of brain metastasis from NPC that presented with a solitary, cystic lesion in the frontal lobe. We also reviewed the related literature published in the last 20 years. We analyzed the patient's clinical characteristics, which indirectly suggested hematogenous spread rather than a cerebrospinal fluid route. Although there are no standard treatments for brain metastasis of NPC, previous studies reported that combined surgery and radiotherapy was a good treatment option, with long survival. Our patient achieved intracranial complete response after the combination of conventional chemoradiotherapy and novel immunotherapy. This treatment option could be useful in future similar cases.
