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

purposeGiven the rarity in the population with adult thalamic gliomas (ATGs), comprehensive characteristics, treatments and survival outcome are not well characterized. This study was conducted to investigate the comprehensive characteristic and treatment of ATGs and identify the prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS).

methodsA retrospective analysis of newly diagnosed ATGs who underwent surgical resection consecutively was conducted. Survival analysis of OS was performed by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Cox proportional hazard model was used to investigate the possible prognostic factors associated with OS.

resultsA total of 102 patients with ATG were enrolled in this study. The median age was 41 years (range 18-68 years). There were 56 (54.9%) males. Sixty-two patients (60.8%) had glioblastoma (GBM). Among these patients, 46 patients (45.1%) had GTR/NTR, 50 patients (49.0%) had STR and 6 patients (5.9%) had PR. Postoperatively, 71.6% of these patients received adjuvant therapy. The median OS was 13.6 months (range 1 week-75 months). COX regression analysis revealed that ATG patients with longer duration of symptoms (p = 0.024), better pre-KPS (p = 0.045), maximal resection (p = 0.013), or lower tumor grade (p = 0.002) had longer OS, and these predictors are considered as independent prognostic factors. Survival analysis showed that ATGs with GTR/NTR plus chemoradiotherapy had significant OS advantage compared with other treatment regimens.

conclusionsThis study comprehensively summarized the characteristics, treatments and survival outcomes of ATGs in the largest sample size. Maximal surgical resection can bring survival benefit. Combined-modality therapy regimen of GTR/NTR plus chemoradiotherapy may be better beneficial for OS than other regimens.
