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.

Abstract

Glioblastoma (GBM) represents 80% of all primary malignant brain tumours in adults. Prognosis is poor, and there is a clear correlation between disease progression and deterioration in functional status. In this pilot study we assess whether we can estimate disease progression and progression free survival (PFS) from routinely collected electronic healthcare data. We identified fifty patients with glioblastoma who had chemo-radiotherapy. For each patient we manually collected a reference data set recording demographics, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, follow-up and death. We also obtained an electronic routine data set for each patient by combining local data on chemotherapy/radiotherapy and hospital admissions. We calculated overall survival (OS) and PFS using the reference data set, and estimated them using the routine data sets using two different methods, and compared the estimated measures with the reference measures. Overall survival was 68% at 1 year and median OS was 12.8 months. The routine data correctly identified progressive disease in 37 of 40 patients and stable disease in 7 of 10 patients. PFS was 7.4 months and the estimated PFS using routine data was 9.1 and 7.8 months with methods 1 and 2 respectively. There was acceptable agreement between reference and routine data in 49 of 50 patients for OS and 35 of 50 patients for PFS. The event of progression, subsequent treatment and OS are well estimated using our approach, but PFS estimation is less accurate. Our approach could refine our understanding of the disease course and allow us to report PFS, OS and treatment nationally.
