A Survival Score Based on Symptoms and Performance Status for Patients with High-grade Gliomas Receiving Radiochemotherapy.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo create a simple survival score for patients with high-grade gliomas based on clinical symptoms and performance status. PATIENTS AND
methodsThirty-six patients received neurosurgical intervention followed by radiochemotherapy for high-grade gliomas. Six pre-treatment symptoms were included in the score depending on their impairment of quality of life, scoring each between 1 and 3. For each patient, the points from the symptoms were added and another 4 points were added for Karnofsky performance status (KPS) <80%. Based on the survival rates of these scores, two groups were formed: 1-4 (group A) and 5-12 points (group B).
resultsThe 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates in group A were 100%, 33% and 24% in group A and 47%, 7% and 0% in group B (p<0.001). In addition, complete tumor resection (p<0.001) and tumor grade III (p<0.001) were associated with improved survival.
conclusionA simple survival score was developed helping physicians in decision-making for patients with high-grade gliomas.
