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

We have previously revealed that identification of the frontal language area (FLA) can be difficult in patients with dominant frontal glioma involving the pars triangularis (PT). The present study added new cases and performed additional analyses. We noticed a new finding that the presence of extension to the pars orbitalis (POr) was associated with negative response to the FLA. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of PT involvement with extension to the POr on the failure to identify the FLA. From 2000 to 2017, awake craniotomy was performed on 470 patients. Of these patients, the present study included 148 consecutive patients with frontal glioma on the dominant side. We evaluated whether tumors involved the PT or extended to the POr. Thirty one of 148 patients showed involvement of the PT, and we examined the detailed characteristics of these 31 patients. The rate of negative response for the FLA was 61% in patients with involvement of the PT. In 31 patients with frontal glioma involving the PT, univariate analyses showed significant correlation between extension to the POr and failure to identify the FLA (P = 0.0070). Similarly, multivariate analysis showed only extension to the POr correlated significantly with failure to identify the FLA (P = 0.0129). We found new evidence that extension to the POr which impacts connectivity between the PT and POr correlated significantly with negative response to the FLA of patients with dominant frontal glioma.
