Radiotherapy of Grade III Gliomas: Identification of Clinical Prognostic Factors for Local Tumor Control and Survival.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe prognoses of patients with grade III gliomas require improvement, which may be achieved with personalized care. We aimed to identify prognostic factors to facilitate the process of treatment personalization. PATIENTS AND
methodsEight factors were analyzed for local tumor control and survival in 44 patients irradiated for grade III glioma. These factors included location and size of glioma, number of glioma sites, performance status, gender, age, neurosurgical intervention and chemotherapy.
resultsIn the Cox regression analyses, frontal location (risk ratio=4.41, p=0.048) and unifocal glioma (risk ratio=4.65, p=0.034) were associated with improved local control, and unifocal glioma with improved survival (risk ratio=6.12, p=0.033). In addition, trends for better survival were observed for frontal location (p=0.093), age ≤49 years (p=0.070), upfront resection (p=0.099) and chemotherapy (p=0.066) on univariate analyses.
conclusionIndependent predictors of local tumor control and survival were identified that can be helpful for personalizing treatment and designing clinical trials.
