Beyond the Pelvis: Brain Metastases in Cervical Cancer - A Case Series from a Low-Middle-Income Country.
Article in International journal of women's health, 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 from cervical cancer are exceedingly rare and pose significant clinical challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to advanced diagnostics and therapies may be limited. We report two cases of cervical carcinoma with brain metastases managed at a tertiary center in Indonesia, each illustrating distinct histopathologic subtypes and metastatic trajectories. The first case involved a 31-year-old woman with a grade II neuroendocrine carcinoma who developed intracranial recurrence 11 months after achieving a complete response to concurrent chemoradiotherapy. In the second case, a 46-year-old woman with poorly differentiated non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma developed progressive brain and pulmonary metastases during adjuvant radiotherapy. Both patients underwent craniotomy for gross total resection of symptomatic brain lesions, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. The surgical intervention led to substantial neurological improvement in both cases, underscoring the role of symptom-directed neurosurgical palliation even in the setting of disseminated disease. These cases highlight the need for heightened clinical vigilance, individualized multidisciplinary management, and strategic application of available resources to improve outcomes in patients with central nervous system involvement from cervical cancer, especially within resource-constrained healthcare systems.
