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

A 79-year-old woman with a history of resection of the ascending colon cancer presented with conscious disturbance, dysarthria, nausea, and dizziness. Computed tomography (CT) revealed striking high-density lesions in the left cerebellum and left frontal lobe with slight perifocal edema. These lesions were suspected the coexistence of spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage and frontal lobe metastasis, or multiple brain metastases with massive hematoma. Because of the mass effect of the cerebellar lesion and impaired consciousness, she underwent emergency resection of the cerebellar lesion which was found to be composed of grayish abnormal soft solid tissue and did not include an obvious hematoma mass. The pathological findings were consistent with brain metastasis from colon cancer. This is an impressive rare case of intraoperative solid brain metastasis with a clearly homogenous hyper-dense CT appearance mimicking intracerebral hematoma.
