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

opinion statementAdults with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common primary brain tumor, have an unacceptably poor outcome with conventional cytotoxic therapies. Malignant gliomas are remarkably angiogenic, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the dominant pro-angiogenic factor. Recent clinical trials targeting VEGF signaling have achieved unprecedented rates of durable radiographic and clinical response, while also confirming adequate safety among recurrent malignant glioma patients. An array of additional clinical trials evaluating anti-angiogenic strategies are underway for both recurrent and newly diagnosed malignant glioma patients. Promising results of these approaches suggest that the treatment of GBM may represent an emerging paradigm of anti-angiogenic therapy.
