Outcomes with non-small cell lung cancer and brain-only metastasis.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: We evaluated outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who presented with brain-only metastatic (BOM) disease overall and by EGFR/ALK mutation status. Methods: We analyzed clinico-demographic, treatment and survival data for all NSCLC patients who presented to our center between 2014 and 2016 with BOM as their first presentation of metastatic disease. Differences in overall survival (OS) were evaluated using log-rank tests for NSCLC wildtype (NSCLCwt Results: Of 109 patients with BOM, median age was 68 years; 51 % were female; 69 % Caucasian; 76 % ever-smoker; 76 % adenocarcinoma; and 25 % NSCLCmut+. While 41 patients (38 %) had subsequent brain-only progressive disease (PD), 22 (20 %) developed extracranial metastases. A higher proportion of NSCLCmut+ ( Conclusion: In patients with NSCLCwt with BOM, we observed a -predominant pattern of brain-only secondary progression, however patients with NSCLCmut + more often progressed extracranially. In patients with NSCLCmut+ and BOM, definitive primary tumor treatment correlated with improved survival.
