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

Malignant glioma represents a diverse set of molecularly heterogeneous diseases. Few therapeutic agents have been approved despite decades of clinical trials research and pre-clinical investigation. Attempts to refine neuroimaging criteria and recent discovery of the genomic profiles linking tumor subsets to survival outcomes have spurred discussion on a variety of new approaches in clinical trial design and relevant endpoints. Here we focus on those endpoints in clinical trial design for patients with primary glioma and related issues still to be resolved.
