Molecularly targeted treatment of recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma - a case report.
Article in Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
High-grade astrocytomas are malignant and aggressive, with limited treatment options. Treatment is geared not only toward increasing patient's overall survival but also in delaying or preventing neurological disability, a cause of significant morbidity. Increasingly, targeted and customized treatment approaches, especially for recurrent disease, are being explored. Here we present a successful outcome in a young patient with rapidly progressive disease who responded to targeted treatment based on genetic sequencing and circulating tumor DNA markers, given the inaccessibility of the tissue to biopsy. Molecular testing on tissue, serum or CSF may be helpful in identifying unique targets in these complex patients.
