Salvage sequential integrated boost radiotherapy followed by sintilimab-bevacizumab in cervical small-cell carcinoma with >10 brain metastases: A 3-year survivor case report.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 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: Cervical small cell carcinoma (CSCC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Brain metastases develop in 10-20% of patients, complicating clinical management and underscoring the need for effective therapeutic strategies. Case presentation: A 54-year-old female with CSCC developed 16 isolated brain metastases during treatment. She responded markedly to whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) combined with sequential integrated boost radiotherapy (SEB). Although recurrence emerged outside the SEB field one year later, subsequent treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents induced complete remission (CR), achieving a progression-free survival (PFS) of 16 months. Remarkably, the patient has achieved an overall survival of 3 years since the diagnosis of brain metastases, without significant treatment-related cognitive impairment, and remains in CR. Conclusion: The combination of WBRT and SEB improves metastatic dose coverage in CSCC patients with multiple brain metastases. Furthermore, combining immunotherapy with antiangiogenic therapy demonstrates significant efficacy against post-radiation intracranial recurrence, supporting a multimodal individualized approach for further study.
