An Uncommon Presentation of Leptomeningeal Metastases in Breast Carcinoma Detected by F-18 FDG PET/CT.
Article in World journal of nuclear medicine, 2023. 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
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is a manifestation in which tumor cells migrate into meninges. Breast carcinoma presenting with leptomeningeal metastases is a rare phenomenon that can occur in an isolated form as well as with coexistent parenchymal brain metastases. The gold standard for diagnosis is cerebrospinal fluid analysis, while contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is the most commonly used imaging modality. Nuclear medicine imaging with flourine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography has proved to be useful in detecting leptomeningeal metastases and, at times, even before anatomical changes occur. Here, we present a case of breast carcinoma presenting with both pachymeningeal and leptomeningeal metastases 10 years after treatment.
