Unusual brain metastasis from colon cancer.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 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
Background: Brain metastases due to colorectal cancer correspond to 3-5% of all brain metastases. The prognostic factors are based on age, functional status, and single metastasis. Its management is multidisciplinary, with poor prognosis despite the management. Case Description: A case of a 64-year-old male presented with symptoms of headache, disorientation, and nausea. The enhanced magnetic resonance image showed a mass in the right frontal horn of the lateral ventricle, contrast enhancing, with irregular borders, but defined, without restriction in diffusion-weighted images, associated with obstructive hydrocephalus. The investigations in search of a primary neoplasm were negative. A ventricular endoscopic approach was performed, with total resection of the lesion. Four months later, he developed a bowel obstruction with surgical management to control the primary, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with a current survival longer than 1 year. Conclusion: Brain metastases due to colorectal cancer are rare, and usually, when diagnosed, there are already pulmonary and hepatic metastases. Multidisciplinary management is recommended, where surgical management can be included in selected cases with controlled systemic disease, good functional condition, and single metastasis.
