Prediction value of unmeasurable MR enhancement at early stage after gross-total resection on the survival state of patients with high-grade glioma.

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
proposeTo explore the value of unmeasurable enhancement pattern of residual cavity in predicting survival at early stage after gross-total resection in high-grade glioma (HGG) patients.
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled consecutive 51 HGG patients with unmeasurable enhancement who underwent gross-total resection followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. We evaluated the enhancement patterns of residual cavity on contrast-T1WI made within 1 month after tumor resection (20 ± 3 days). The survival state of different enhancement was compared.
resultsThin-linear, thick-linear and nodular enhancement were observed in 22 patients (43%), 10 patients (20%), and 19 patients (37%), respectively. The progression-free survival of patients with thin-linear (487, 151-887 days) was longer than those patients with thick-linear (277, 133-573 days), and nodular enhancement (210, 120-765 days) (P = 0.002). The overall survival of patients with thin-linear (774, 457-1343 days) was longer than those with thick-linear (462, 320-678 days), and nodular enhancement (326, 234-1393 days) (P = 0.002). There was no significant difference of orthogonal value between thick-linear and nodular enhancement (0.854), neither between grade III and IV with same enhancement patterns (P = 0.540, P = 0.720).
conclusionsThe unmeasurable enhancement patterns in HGG patients within 1 month after gross-total resection, which might be better than the grade of tumor, holds a potential marker in survival state.
