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

Background: Metastatic cervical cancer to the brain is a rare occurrence, representing approximately 1.5% of metastatic cases. We report a rare presentation of cervical cancer with brain metastasis to the corpus callosum. The patient was initially suspected to have a primary glioma but was diagnosed with a metastatic cervical carcinoma lesion through both stereotactic and then opens biopsy. Case Description: A 53-year-old female, with Stage III adenosquamous cervical carcinoma, presented with a large heterogeneously enhancing mass in the corpus callosum body with extension in the cingulate gyrus concerning for glioma. A stereotactic biopsy revealed hypercellular and gliotic brain tissue, while an open biopsy showed an epithelioid neoplasm consistent with metastatic cervical adenosquamous carcinoma. The patient underwent a craniotomy and recovered well and was discharged in stable condition. Conclusion: Brain metastases from cervical cancer are uncommon. We present a rare case of metastatic cervical carcinoma which appeared on imaging to mimic a butterfly glioma. The patient's history and histopathological examination were essential in determining the correct diagnosis and receiving timely treatment.
