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

In the latest World Health Organization classification of brain tumors, gliomatosis cerebri has been redefined to varying subsets of diffuse gliomas; however, the term is still used to describe gliomas with infiltrative growth into three or more cerebral lobes. These tumors are frequently misdiagnosed and difficult to treat due to their atypical presentation using structural imaging modalities including computed tomography and T1/T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this retrospective case series, we compared clinical MRI to amino acid positron emission tomography (PET) to assess the potential value of PET in the assessment of the extent of tumor involvement and in monitoring disease progression. We report the clinical course and serial multimodal imaging findings of four patients. Each patient presented at varying points in disease progression with widespread glioma brain involvement and was evaluated at least once by amino acid PET using alpha-[
