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

questionWhat is the impact of cytotoxic chemotherapy on disease control and survival in the adult patient with progressive glioblastoma? TARGET POPULATION: This recommendation applies to adults patients with progressive glioblastoma. RECOMMENDATIONS LEVEL II: Temozolomide is recommended as superior to procarbazine in patients with first relapse of glioblastoma after having received nitrosourea chemotherapy or no prior cytotoxic chemotherapy at the time of initial therapy. The use of BCNU-impregnated biodegradable polymer wafers is recommended in the management of progressive glioblastoma as a surgical adjunct when cytoreductive surgery is indicated, taking into account the associated toxicities seen with this modality. LEVEL III: Consideration of a variety of cytotoxic chemotherapy agents of uncertain benefit is recommended in the setting of progressive glioblastoma based on the judgment of the treating physician taking into account the individual patients prior treatment exposure, systemic health, and likelihood of tolerance of the toxicities of any given agent. It is recommended in such cases that enrollment in available clinical trials be encouraged.
