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

backgroundGlioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer in adults with a grave prognosis, aggressive radio and chemotherapy provide only a 15 months median survival.

methodsWe evaluated the tolerability and efficacy of the Ruthenium-based photosensitizer TLD-1433 with apo-Transferrin (Rutherrin) in the rat glioma 2 (RG-2) model. The specific tumor uptake ratio and photodynamic therapy (PDT) threshold of the rat glioblastoma and normal brain were determined, survival and CD8

resultsA significantly lower absorbed energy was sufficient to achieve LD

conclusionRutherrin-PDT was well tolerated providing a safe and effective treatment of RG-2 glioma.
