Optimal treatment strategy for adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neurosurgical review, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
To compare the efficacy and safety of treatments based on the Stupp protocol for adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma and to determine the optimal treatment option for patients with different O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation statuses. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS) and odds ratios (ORs) for adverse events of grade 3 or higher (AEs ≥ 3). Twenty-one randomized controlled trials involving 6478 patients treated with 21 different treatment strategies were included. Results of the pooled HRs indicated tumor-treating fields (TTF) combined with the Stupp protocol resulted in the most favorable OS for patients with and without MGMT promoter methylation. Subgroup analyses by the two MGMT promoter statuses indicated that lomustine-temozolomide plus radiotherapy or TTF combination therapy was associated with the best OS for patients with methylated MGMT promoter (HR, 1.03; 95% credible interval [CI], 0.54-1.97), and standard cilengitide combination therapy or TTF combination treatment was associated with the best OS for patients with unmethylated MGMT promoter (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.67-1.64). Regarding AEs ≥ 3, there were no significant differences in pooled ORs. However, Bayesian ranking profiles that demonstrated intensive cilengitide combination therapy and TTF combination therapy have a similar possibility to cause the least toxicity. These results indicated that TTF combination therapy was associated with increased survival, irrespective of the MGMT promoter methylation status, and a relatively tolerated safety profile compared with other combination treatments. The optimal treatment option for glioblastoma patients with different MGMT promoter methylation statuses was different.
