Research progress in imaging detection of brain metastases.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. 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 metastasis (BM) is a common and severe complication of advanced cancer, and early, accurate diagnosis is critical to improving patient outcomes. This study comprehensively analyzes the characteristics of various imaging techniques for detecting BM. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the primary diagnostic method due to its high soft-tissue resolution, while advanced MRI techniques have improved the detection of small lesions. Computed tomography (CT) is valuable for rapid emergency assessment but is limited by lower soft-tissue resolution and radiation exposure. PET imaging offers unique advantages in functional imaging and treatment response differentiation, though constrained by signal-to-noise ratio limitations. Multimodal fusion techniques (e.g., PET/CT, PET/MRI) integrate anatomical and functional information to enhance diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, radiomics and AI extract high-dimensional features and construct predictive models, enabling precise identification and personalized treatment. This article reviews the progress and clinical applications of these imaging techniques.
