Stereotactic brachytherapy using iodine 125 seeds for the treatment of primary and recurrent anaplastic glioma WHO° III.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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 current study analyzed the outcome after stereotactic brachytherapy (SBT) using iodine-125 seeds in anaplastic astrocytoma, oligoastrocytoma or oligodendroglioma not suitable for resection. Out of 223 patients harbouring a malignant glioma treated according to a prospective protocol, 172 patients were selected who received SBT to treat a WHO grade III de-novo/residual tumor (n = 99) or a tumor recurrence after multimodal treatment (n = 73). We assessed progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), radiological and clinical outcome and determined prognostic factors using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. The median follow-up time was 38 months. Median OS and median PFS was 28.9 and 21.4 months in the de-novo group vs. 49.4 and 32.6 months in the recurrence group. Recurrent tumors had more frequently (p = 0.01) an oligodendroglial-component compared to de novo tumors. According to cohort-specific univariate analyses KPS at SBT had a significant (p = 0.008) impact on OS in the de-novo group. In the recurrence group, (Cox regression analysis) OS was significantly associated with histology subtype (oligoastro-/oligodendroglioma vs. astrocytoma, p = 0.043). Transient and permanent morbidity (~1 %) was low. For patients unable to undergo surgery due to eloquent tumour location or reduced general condition SBT is an effective treatment option, which does not foreclose additional therapeutic interventions.
