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 place of bevacizumab (BEV) in salvage re-irradiation (Re-RT) settings of malignant glioma is poorly defined. In the current study risk/benefit profiles of two BEV-based Re-RT protocols were analyzed and compared with that of salvage BEV plus irinotecan (BEV/IRI). According to interdisciplinary tumor board recommendations, patients were assigned to one of three BEV-based treatment protocols: (1) BEV/IRI, (2) Re-RT (36 Gy/18 fx) with concomitant BEV (Re-RT/BEV), and (3) Re-RT with concomitant/maintenance BEV (Re-RT/BEV→BEV). Prognostic factors were obtained from proportional hazards models. Adverse events were classified according to the NCI CTCAE, v4.0. 105 consecutive patients were enrolled from 08/2008 to 05/2014. Patients undergoing Re-RT experienced longer time intervals from initial diagnosis to BEV treatment (median: 22.0 months vs. 13.7 months, p = 0.001); those assigned to Re-RT/BEV→BEV rated better on the performance scale (median KPS
