Total dietary antioxidant index and survival in patients with glioblastoma multiforme.
Article in Cancer causes & control : CCC, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectivesThe role of antioxidants in survival of cancer patients is controversial. No data on the relationships between antioxidant intake and survival of glioma patients are available. Our objective was to examine such association in a large series of cases.
methodsThe study population includes 814 glioblastoma multiforme cases that were newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed, aged 20 or older, and residing in the San Francisco Bay Area at diagnosis. Cases were identified via the regional cancer registry's rapid case ascertainment system during 1991-1994 (series I), 1997-2000 (series II), and 2001-2004 (series III). Daily dietary antioxidant intake at diagnosis was assessed via food-frequency questionnaire and was expressed as total antioxidant index, calculated based on Trolox equivalent per gram of food. In addition, the study collected information on supplements/vitamin intake.
resultsOverall, our results indicated no consistent, significant association of survival with dietary antioxidant intake or its combination with vitamin supplements. However, in series III, we observed a significant association between higher antioxidant index and better survival: HR = 0.58 (95% CI: 0.46, 0.74) for each unit of antioxidant index on a log-scale.
conclusionsAlthough it is possible that this is a chance finding, the association between dietary antioxidants and survival in the most recently recruited patients warrants further investigations.
