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

Astrocytic gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours. Here we summarize the characteristic neuropathological features of the different types of astrocytic neoplasms according to the World Health Organization classification of tumours of the nervous system. In addition, we report on the present state of the art concerning the molecular genetics of these tumours. Over the past 20 years a number of recurrent chromosomal,genetic and epigenetic alterations have been found to be associated with the different histological types and malignancy grades of astrocytic tumours. However, we are still far from understanding the complex mechanisms that underly tumour initiation and progression in the individual case. Furthermore, the clinical significance of molecular parameters for the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of astrocytic gliomas is still limited. Therefore further investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying oncogenesis and progression of these most common brain tumours is necessary to improve their diagnostic assessment and to devise novel, individually tailored treatment strategies.
