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

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. However, brain metastases from this cancer are incredibly rare. While the hepatocellular carcinoma mortality rate in the United States has been increasing, hepatocellular carcinoma is rare among patients without underlying liver disease. Here we present a patient with a history of left optic nerve meningioma treated with stereotactic radiosurgery who presented with acute vision loss. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhancing mass lesion in the region of the sella turcica. Neurosurgical histopathology revealed a metastatic lesion consistent with hepatocellular carcinoma. Systemic workup failed to identify a primary liver lesion.
