Current pharmacologic treatment of brain metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer.
Review in Clinical & experimental metastasis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Lung cancer is a type of cancer that can metastasize to the lungs, brain, bones, liver, adrenal glands, and other organs; however, the occurrence of brain metastases is the most common event. Symptoms of brain metastasis include motor dysfunction, mental dysfunction, seizures, headaches, nausea, and vomiting, and significantly reduce the quality of life of cancer patients. Brain metastases are a poor prognostic factor, and controlling them is extremely important for prolonging prognosis and improving the quality of life. Currently, local surgery and radiotherapy are recommended for their treatment. However, recently, cancer treatments using molecular-targeted drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors have been introduced, which may also be effective against brain metastases. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether local or systemic therapy is optimal for each case. In this review, we focus on recent findings regarding drug therapy in treating brain metastases from advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
