Recurrent Brain Metastasis Versus Radiation-Induced Necrosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Radiotherapy is the cornerstone of brain metastasis management. With the advancement of therapies, patients are living longer, exposing them to the long-term effects of radiotherapy. Using concurrent or sequential chemotherapy, targeted agents, and immune checkpoint inhibitors may increase the incidence and severity of radiation-induced toxicity. Recurrent metastasis and radiation necrosis (RN) appear indistinguishable on neuroimaging, making it a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. Here, we present a case of RN in a 65-year-old male patient who previously had brain metastasis (BM) from primary lung cancer, misdiagnosed initially as recurrent BM.
