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

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a known but rare occurrence and is characterized as 2 distinct tumor types in same anatomic location. We present a rare case of intracranial tumor-to-tumor metastasis of esophageal adenocarcinoma into meningioma. Our case emphasizes the rare occurrence of intracranial tumor-to-tumor metastasis and importance of histology and immunohistochemical analysis in distinguishing between metastasis and meningioma, especially when faced with ambiguous demarcation. Awareness of this occurrence is crucial, given that metastases might be the initial indication of an underlying tumor and it can impact the clinical management decisions.
