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

backgroundAlthough choriocarcinoma can metastasize to the brain, it is extremely rare for it to present with multiple types of metastatic lesions simultaneously. OBSERVATIONS: A 32-year-old primiparous woman presented with acute left-sided hemiparesis. Imaging revealed multiple intracranial and systemic lesions, including a hemorrhagic lesion with spindle-shaped vasodilatation, a dural mass, a brain parenchymal lesion, and a lung tumor. Craniotomy was performed on the dural lesion and dilated cerebral vessels, leading to the diagnosis of dural metastasis and a neoplastic cerebral aneurysm (NCA) secondary to choriocarcinoma. The patient underwent multidrug chemotherapy, which resulted in the complete resolution of all lesions. Pathological analysis confirmed that both the dural metastasis and the NCA were characterized by tumor cell invasion of vascular structures. LESSONS: Choriocarcinoma can present with various types of brain metastases. In this case, both dural metastasis and NCA arose from tumor cell thrombosis, with variations in pathology likely influenced by differences in vascular structures. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2564.
