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

Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumor found in adults. Unfortunately, the prognosis for these type of tumors remains dismal despite aggressive treatment with surgical resection, radiation and chemotherapy. Therefore, therapeutics aimed at disrupting the angiogenesis of these tumors is being utilized in to improve survival outcomes and quality of life. This paper reviews the history of antiangiogenic agents in malignant gliomas, discusses the FDA approval of bevacizumab as monotherapy in recurrent glioblastoma and the subsequent controversy, and analyzes the most recent newly diagnosed trials of RTOG 0825 and AVAglio. Additionally, the results of the latest trials with antiangiogenic agents and possible biomarkers are reviewed. Multiple questions remain regarding the potential benefit of antiangiogenic treatments in patients with glioblastoma. Future clinical trials should be designed to learn more about these drugs, to optimize their future use.
