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 S100B protein is associated with brain damage and a breached blood-brain barrier. A previous pilot study showed that high serum levels of S100B are associated with shorter survival in glioma patients. The aim of our study was to assess the prognostic value in terms of survival and longitudinal dynamics of serum S100B for patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent glioma. We obtained blood samples from patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent glioma before the start (baseline) and at fixed time-points during temozolomide chemotherapy. S100B-data were dichotomized according to the upper limit of the reference value of 0.1 μg/L. Overall survival (OS) was estimated with Kaplan-Meier curves and groups were compared with the log rank analysis. To correct for potential confounders a Cox regression analysis was used. We included 86 patients with newly-diagnosed and 27 patients with recurrent glioma. Most patients in both groups had baseline serum levels within normal limits. In the newly diagnosed patients we found no significant difference in OS between the group of patients with S100B levels >0.1 μg/L at baseline compared to those with <0.1 μg/L. In the patients with recurrent glioma we found a significantly shorter OS for patients with raised levels. In both groups, S100B values did not change significantly throughout the course of the disease. Serum S100B levels do not seem to have prognostic value in newly diagnosed glioma patients. In recurrent glioma patients S100B might be of value in terms of prognostication of survival.
