Review in Expert opinion on biological therapy, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02698280 (Phase II Study of Bevacizumab and Nimustine in Patients With Recurrent High Grade Glioma), which is not on this map. Cited by 33 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundAdults with malignant glioma, especially the most common subtype, glioblastoma multiforme, have an unacceptably poor outcome with current therapies. Malignant gliomas are amongst the most angiogenic of cancers, and VEGF is the dominant angiogenic mediator in these tumors.

objectiveTo summarize the clinical experience of VEGF-directed treatment for malignant glioma.

methodsWe reviewed the completed, ongoing and planned clinical trials evaluating anti-VEGF strategies for malignant glioma patients. RESULTS/

conclusionsRecent studies incorporating anti-VEGF agents plus cytotoxic therapy among recurrent malignant glioma patients have achieved unprecedented improvements in radiographic response, time to progression and survival. Furthermore, acceptable toxicity was observed. Hence, a major current focus in neuro-oncology is to further develop antiangiogenic strategies for this desperate patient population.
