Oesophageal adenocarcinoma presenting with synchronous brain metastases.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2025. 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
Brain metastases are rare and poorly understood complications of oesophageal carcinoma. This report describes a case of brain metastasis as the initial presentation of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The rarity and the lack of prospective clinical trials of brain metastasis in oesophageal cancer result in the absence of treatment guidelines. Common treatments for brain metastases, regardless of tumour of origin, are applicable to oesophageal brain metastases and include surgical resection, whole brain radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, chemotherapy/immunotherapy and/or symptomatic control with steroids and anticonvulsants.
