Gastric Cancer With Brain Metastasis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Although gastric cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, it rarely involves metastasis to the brain. Brain metastases can present with non-specific neurological symptoms such as focal neurological deficits, personality changes, or ataxia. Unfortunately, once brain metastasis is confirmed using imaging, the average life span is approximately two to four months. However, surgical and nonsurgical interventions have been able to improve quality and extend life to up to a year in patients living with gastric cancer that has metastasized to the brain. We report the diagnosis and surgical management of a 73-year-old female who presented with brain metastasis from gastric cancer. After a combination of radiation therapy, surgical management, and pharmacological intervention, the metastasis was successfully removed from the brain, as indicated by a negative CT and MRI on a four-year follow-up.
