Preoperative predictive factors affecting return to work in patients with gliomas undergoing awake brain mapping.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the preoperative predictive factors affecting return to work in patients with gliomas in the left cerebral hemisphere undergoing awake surgery.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 50 consecutive glioma patients who underwent awake surgery from January 2012 to July 2017. Adult patients older than 18 years, who reported working prior to surgery, were recruited for this study.
resultsComparing sociodemographic, disease-related and preoperative neurocognitive variables of glioma patients who returned to work and those who did not, binomial logistic regression models for preoperative predictors affecting return to work revealed significant differences in age and sole breadwinner status as sociodemographic variables, tumour volume as a disease-related variable, and Verbal IQ, Performance IQ, general memory, attention/concentration, and working memory as neurocognitive variables. Multivariate logistic regression models demonstrated that the independent factors associated with propriety of returning to work 1 year after surgery was the sociodemographic variable sole breadwinner status (yes vs no; OR = 15.00, 95% CI 2.22-101.35, p = 0.01), the disease-related variable tumour volume (per 1 cm
conclusionsOur results suggest that three predictive factors including sole breadwinner status, tumour volume and general memory that can be assessed in the preoperative stage substantially contribute to returning to work in patients with gliomas in the left cerebral hemisphere, 1 year after awake surgery.
