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

We analyzed the prognostic factors of Korean pediatric patients with supratentorial high-grade glioma (HGG). Between 1997 and 2011, 62 patients with 34 glioblastomas and 28 anaplastic gliomas were surgically operated at nine institutions. The male-to-female ratio was 33 to 29 and the median age was 12 years (range 1-18). The prognostic significance of tumor location, extent of removal, pathologic grade, treatment method, and pattern of recurrence was analyzed. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 9.3 (± 0.8) and 17.8 (± 1.9) months, respectively. Glioblastoma and anaplastic glioma showed OSs of 15.9 (± 1.3) and 19.6 (± 2.4) months, respectively. Based on the univariate analysis, gross total removal (GTR) and initial combined chemoradiotherapy improved PFS (p = 0.012 and p = 0.003) and OS (p = 0.030 and p = 0.013), respectively. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dissemination showed poor OS (p = 0.001). Based on the multivariate analysis, GTR and initial combined chemoradiotherapy resulted in an improved PFS [(hazard ratio 0.360; 95 % CI 0.177-0.733; p = 0.005) and (hazard ratio 0.458; 95 % CI 0.230-0.911; p = 0.026), respectively]. GTR, initial combined chemoradiotherapy, and no CSF seeding resulted in an improved OS [(hazard ratio 0.417; 95 % CI 0.201-0.861; p = 0.018), (hazard ratio 0.406; 95 % CI 0.206-0.800; p = 0.009), and (hazard ratio 0.288; 95 % CI 0.148-0.563; p = 0.000), respectively]. No significant difference in PFS and OS was observed between glioblastoma and anaplastic glioma. CSF dissemination was observed in 22 patients (35.5 %) during total follow-up. Pediatric anaplastic glioma showed poor survival, similarly to glioblastoma. GTR and initial combined chemoradiotherapy were associated with improved survival.
