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

Even in modern times of high-precision brain surgery and irradiation, malignant gliomas belong to the deadliest types of cancer. Due to a marked primary and presumably also acquired resistance, the beneficial effects of cytotoxic chemotherapy are limited. Only one randomized clinical trial demonstrated a significant impact on overall survival with temozolomide. Ever since, there have been attempts to improve the efficacy of alkylating chemotherapy by modulating the distribution of dose in time aiming at a better treatment success. Apart from higher cumulative doses per cycle, better efficacy by depletion of the anti-alkylating O⁶-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) protein has been a major goal of these regimens. After promising results of single-arm pilot studies, however, randomized studies have been disappointing so far. In this overview, the different strategies of dose-dense temozolomide regimen are highlighted and results of clinical trials put into perspective.
