Review in Neuro-oncology practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Late adverse effects of cancer treatments represent a significant source of morbidity and also financial hardship among brain tumor patients. These effects can be produced by direct neurologic damage of the tumor and its removal, and/or by complementary treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, either alone or combined. Notably, young adults are the critical population that faces major consequences because the early onset of the disease may affect their development and socioeconomic status. The spectrum of these late adverse effects is large and involves multiple domains. In this review we classify the main long-term adverse effects into 4 sections: CNS complications, peripheral nervous system complications, secondary neoplasms, and Economic impact. In addition, CNS main complications are divided into nonfocal and focal symptoms. Owing to all the secondary effects mentioned, it is essential for physicians to have a high level of clinical suspicion to prevent and provide early intervention to minimize their impact.
