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

Small cell glioblastoma (scGBM) is a rare histological variant of classical glioblastoma (GBM). Presence of necrosis and microvascular proliferation is not essential for the diagnosis. It is thought to have more aggressive behavior as compared with classical GBM; however, because of its rarity standard treatment guidelines are not available. Adjuvant treatment for these cancers consists of postoperative radiotherapy with concurrent and maintenance temozolomide similar to classical GBM. Here we present a case series of five small cell glioblastoma patients along with the clinical-pathological review.
