In one paragraph

Review in Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03189420 (Glioma Microenvironment an Exploratory Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 120 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

The updated 2016 edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System (CNS) uses molecular parameters and the histology to define the main tumor categories for the first time. This represents a shift from the traditional principle of using neuropathological diagnoses, which are primarily based on the microscopic features, to using molecularly-oriented diagnoses. Major restructuring was made with regard to diffuse gliomas, medulloblastomas and other embryonal tumors. New entities that are defined by both the histological and molecular features include glioblastoma, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype and glioblastoma, IDH-mutant; diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M-mutant; RELA fusion-positive ependymoma; medulloblastoma, wingless (WNT)-activated and medulloblastoma, sonic hedgehog (SHH)-activated; and embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes, C19MC-altered. In addition, some entities that are no longer diagnostically relevant-such as CNS-primitive neuroectodermal tumor-have been deleted from this updated edition. The WHO2016 certainly facilitates clinical and basic research to improve the diagnosis of brain tumors and patient care.
