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

In recent years further forms of local treatment for primary brain tumors have been developed in addition to resection and radiation. There are basically three principles for local therapy, intralesional therapy for primary or recurrent non-resectable tumors as well as intracavitary and pericavitary therapy following microscopic surgical complete resection. Local therapy procedures are complex and suffer from special difficulties in the evaluation of their effectiveness by imaging techniques, because they are inevitably accompanied by alterations in the imaging, barrier disturbances and contrast medium uptake.
