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

The purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis examining the association of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)1/2 mutations with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with glioblastomas. Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to January 28, 2015, using combinations of the following keywords: IDH mutation, brain tumor, glioma, glioblastoma, oligodendroglioma, prognosis. Randomized controlled trials, and prospective and retrospective studies of patients with glioblastomas that provided IDH mutation and survival data were included. OS and PFS were used to evaluate the association of IDH1 and IDH1/2 mutations and prognosis. Hazard ratios (HRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for OS and PFS were calculated and compared between patients with and without mutations. Of 165 studies that were identified, 136 nonrelevant studies were excluded. Twenty-nine full-text articles were assessed, and of these, 5 were excluded as they did not provide a quantitative outcome. Therefore, 24 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. The pooled HR of 0.358 (95% CI 0.264-0.487, P < 0.001) indicated that IDH mutations were associated with better OS. Similarly, the pooled HR of 0.322 (95% CI 0.24200.455, P < 0.001) indicated that IDH mutations were associated with better PFS. When patients were stratified by surgery versus no surgery or IDH1 versus IDH1/2 mutations, the results also indicated that the presence of IDH mutations was associated with better OS and PFS. The IDH mutations are associated with improved survival in patients with glioblastomas.
