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

Background: Multiple cystic brain metastases are a rare form of cancer dissemination and usually originate from adenocarcinomas of the lung and breast. Managing these lesions is challenging, and cyst drainage plays an essential role in reducing intracranial pressure. This article presents a case of multiple cystic brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old female with a two-year history of stage IV lung adenocarcinoma presented with debilitating progressive neurologic symptoms. Imaging studies showed multiple cystic lesions on brain MRI most consistent with brain metastases. She underwent a craniotomy to drain the biggest cysts, followed by whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT). The patient experienced dramatic alleviation of symptoms. Following a year of follow-up, she had no neurological symptoms. Conclusion: Despite the rarity of cystic brain metastases, these lesions should be ruled out in case of signs of increased intracranial pressure in a patient with a history of malignant disease.
