Clinical Prognostic Factors for Local Control and Survival After Irradiation of Grade II Gliomas.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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/
aimPersonalized treatment for low-grade gliomas likely improves patient outcomes. This study aimed to identify predictors of local control and survival. PATIENTS AND
methodsTwenty-five patients irradiated for grade II gliomas were retrospectively analyzed. Irradiation was performed after biopsy (n=6) or incomplete resection (n=19). Nineteen patients received additional chemotherapy. Eight factors were analyzed, namely the number of glioma sites, cumulative maximum diameter, radiotherapy technique, Karnofsky performance score (KPS), gender, age, resection and chemotherapy.
resultsOn univariate analysis, trends for associations with local control were found for cumulative maximum diameter ≤43 mm (p=0.087) and age ≤45 years (p=0.065). In the Cox regression analysis, cumulative maximum diameter maintained significance (p=0.046). On univariate analysis, KPS 90-100 (p=0.039) and female gender (p=0.022) were significantly associated with better survival. In the Cox regression analysis, both KPS (p=0.039) and gender (p=0.016) were significant.
conclusionIndependent predictors of local control and survival were identified that can contribute to better treatment personalization.
