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

introductionChildhood glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is uncommon, accounting for 7.2% of the central nervous system tumors in childhood. Their clinical behaviors are almost as aggressive as those in adults, and the 5-year overall survival rate is poor. CASE REPORT: We describe a case of a 13-year-old boy with GBM. Fourteen months after surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy, the patient showed local recurrence. No response to subsequent bevacizumab treatment was observed. To determine correlations of molecular alterations with clinical outcomes in this case, we examined the expressions of Ki-67, MMP-9, MGMT, VEGF, Ras, and p-AKT using biopsies before and after recurrence. DISCUSSION: Childhood glioblastomas show a distinct biological behavior and probably a different molecular pathogenesis in comparison to the adult ones. Understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for the formation and progression of the tumors is critical for identification of novel therapeutic targets.
