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

Glioblastomas are the most common and deadliest form of malignant primary brain tumor. Until recently, therapies for tumors that recur after standard treatment have been largely ineffective. Recent phase II studies with the humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor bevacizumab suggest that this agent is active in recurrent glioblastomas, producing response rates of 26-40% and prolonging 6-month progression-free survival to 36-50%. As a result of these studies, the US Food and Drug Administration recently granted accelerated approval for bevacizumab as a treatment for recurrent glioblastomas.
