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

Optimal management after recurrence or progression of high-grade gliomas is still undefined and remains a challenge for neuro-oncology multidisciplinary teams. Improved radiation therapy techniques, new imaging methods, published experience, and a better radiobiological knowledge of brain tissue have positioned re-irradiation (re-RT) as an option for many of these patients. Decisions must be individualized, taking into account the pattern of relapse, previous treatment, and functional status, as well as the patient's preferences and expected quality of life. Many questions remain unanswered with respect to re-RT: Who is the most appropriate candidate, which dose and fractionation are most effective, how to define the target volume, which imaging technique is best for planning, and what is the optimal timing? This review will focus on describing the most relevant studies that include re-RT as salvage therapy, with the aim of simplifying decision-making and designing the best available therapeutic strategy.
