Intracranial hemorrhage in setting of glioblastoma with venous thromboembolism.
Review in Neuro-oncology practice, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complication of glioblastoma. Anticoagulating patients with glioblastoma carries a theoretical risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of consecutive glioblastoma patients (2007-2013) diagnosed with VTE.
resultsThe study population comprised of 523 glioblastoma patients of whom 173 (33%) had VTE events. Seventeen (10%) had ICH: 6 (35%) subdural hematomas and 11 (65%) intratumoral hemorrhages. In total, 4 patients with ICH required neurosurgical intervention. Enhancement in the area of subsequent intratumoral hemorrhage was noted in 9 of 10 with available pre-ICH scans. Multivariable regression did not show associations between ICH and tumor enhancement diameter or use of vascular-endothelial-growth-factor inhibitor. Fifteen (16%) patients receiving anticoagulation had ICH compared with 2 (2.6%) not receiving anticoagulation (
conclusionPatients with glioblastoma and VTE on anticoagulation have increased incidence of ICH. However, development of ICH was not associated with lower median survival from time of VTE. Intratumoral hemorrhage occurred within the enhancing portion of tumor; however, no relationship was identified between the development of ICH and (i) the median diameter of enhancement or (ii) type of anticoagulant used. However, patients with absence of enhancing tumor did not have intratumoral bleed, suggesting gross total resection may limit this adverse outcome. It is appropriate to initiate anticoagulation in glioblastoma patients with VTEs.
