Double Trouble: A Case Report on the Surgical Management of Dual Intracranial Metastases.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intracranial metastasis disease (IMD) has proven to be a frequent secondary occurrence, usually for primary cancers such as lung, breast, and melanoma, which have a high possibility of metastasizing to the brain. Due to the reasons listed above, treatment and early diagnosis are incredibly challenging. In the past decade, medicine has developed much better imaging solutions and radiological and surgical approaches, increasing the postoperative survival prognosis and achieving more time-efficient results. It is still exceptionally difficult to be able to prevent what type of metastasis a patient might develop other than by using the tumor type or subtype. We present a case of a 51-year-old female patient entering the Neurosurgical Clinic at the University Hospital "St. Ivan Rilski" for operative treatment of a second metastatic lesion located on the left parietal lobe in January 2024. She had previously had an operative resection of an initial lesion located on the left temporal lobe in December 2023. Her medical history began in 2015 when her first diagnosis was a breast carcinoma, followed by operative treatment and radio-, chemo-, and targeted therapy. In 2020, due to metastases located in the bones, she had to undergo another treatment with chemotherapy as well as have a total hysterectomy done as a result of another metastasis. The patient did not provide any family history, nor did she confirm any past or current allergies to foods, drugs, etc. Under general inhalation anesthesia, the patient was placed in a park bench position to the right and had a Mayfield head holder applied. Through a left parietal craniotomy and neuronavigation, a tumor formation was revealed with the characteristic of a secondary lesion. A gross total resection was achieved through a microsurgical technique. Postoperatively, there were no further complications observed in the patient, and she was discharged on day five from the hospital with relief of her symptoms.
