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

objectiveTo evaluate early clinical outcome for anaplastic gliomas (AG) treated in the era of modulated radiotherapy (RT) and concurrent plus adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) in an Indian setting. MATERIALS AND

methodsFifty-three patients with AGs treated with modulated RT and concurrent (95%) and adjuvant TMZ (90%) were analyzed. About 80% of patients had Karnofsky performance status (KPS) at least 90 with 30% seizure at presentation. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging was available in 65% cases and RT dose was 60 Gy in 30 fractions. First posttreatment imaging was performed at 1 month and then at 3 and 6 months post-RT and then every 3 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), and analysis was done using SPSS version 18.0.

resultsWith median follow-up of 25 months, 2-year DFS and OS were 75% and 88%. There were only 5% symptomatic central nerves system and 8% symptomatic hematological toxicities. At the 1

conclusionModulated RT with TMZ among Grade III glioma patients resulted in minimum treatment-related toxicities and encouraging survival. Molecular prognostic markers will determine most favorable groups in future.
