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

Brain metastases (BM) from lung cancer remain a devastating complication that severely compromises patient survival. Its development is driven by dynamic and complex interactions between tumor cells and the central nervous system microenvironment, involving blood-brain barrier disruption, immunosuppressive niche formation, neural co-optation, metabolic adaptation, and peripheral immune dysregulation. Current strategies face intrinsic resistance and delivery barriers. This review aimed to systematically examine these mechanisms and therapeutic frontiers, including emerging interventions that preserve vascular-neural integrity, intercept neurotransmitter-mediated tumor support, reprogram brain resident cells, exploit metabolic vulnerabilities, and engineer advanced delivery systems, thereby proposing directions to overcome therapeutic challenges in lung cancer BM.
