Subtle neuropsychiatric symptoms of glioblastoma multiforme misdiagnosed as depression.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common of the aggressive primary brain tumours arising in adults and has a dire prognosis. Neuropsychiatric symptoms can vary significantly among afflicted persons; psychiatric disturbances may be the predominant presenting symptoms. Distinguishing between functional psychiatric disorders, particularly depression, from other subtle neuropsychiatric disturbances that may accompany GBM can be challenging. The authors present a clinical case and review of the literature in an attempt to highlight the special considerations that should be taken into account when evaluating patients who present with late-onset or atypical symptoms, refractory psychiatric symptoms, or subtle neurological disturbances signalling the need for diagnostic assessment, particularly neuroimaging, for the presence of a tumour. Early diagnosis is critical for improvement in quality of life.
