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

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) from neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC) is extremely rare, with only five cases reported in the literature. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have the standard first-line treatment for metastatic cervical carcinoma and have been reported to improve intracranial response and survival in several types of cancer. A 50-year-old woman initially received pelvic radiation and chemotherapy for cervical cancer. At 1 year later, she complained of left breast, supraclavicular, and retroperitoneal lymph node metastases. She received targeted and adjuvant chemotherapy. At 15 months after diagnosis, she received radiotherapy due to nasopharynx and supraclavicular lymph node metastasis as well as treatment with a bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4, cadonilimab, combined with chemotherapy. At 20 months after diagnosis, she experienced a transient unconsciousness and severe headache, nausea, and vomiting. The cytological demonstration of malignant cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) confirmed the presence of leptomeningeal metastasis. The therapeutic regimen then consisted of intrathecal chemotherapy combined with oral temozolomide. The authors highlight the diagnosis and treatment of LM from NECC, providing a rare clinical scenario.
