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

Primary spinal glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is very uncommon while an intramedullary spinal GBM with intracranial metastasis is rarely heard of. A 23-year-old male presented with bilateral paraplegia associated with bowel and bladder incontinence. Craniospinal radiograph showed an intramedullary spinal mass lesion, for which he underwent laminectomy and histopathology revealed GBM. He received local radiotherapy (RT) with temozolomide (TMZ). While on adjuvant TMZ, he developed severe headache and recurrent episodes of vomiting. Brain and spine imaging showed intracranial mass lesions associated with expansion of the entire cord. Biopsy from the intracranial lesion was confirmed as GBM on immunohistopathology. He was treated with palliative RT to the brain and was put on metronomic TMZ; however, he succumbed to his illness. Review of literature reveals that our case may be the fourth such case in the world and probably the first case reported in India where the intracranial metastatic GBM again presented with a reverse spinal dissemination.
