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

objectiveGrade II gliomas are mostly astrocytomas and oligodendrocytomas. The treatment method is mainly surgery, combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. According to statistics, young patients under the age of 40 years with grade II gliomas have a 50% chance of more than 5-year survival through reasonable treatment and normal eating habits. The survival time of middle-aged and elderly patients over 40 years old is about 2-3 years under the same conditions. The study aimed at analyzing the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of 60 patients with glioma.

methodsA total of 60 patients diagnosed pathologically with grade II glioma according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification in 2007 admitted into our hospital from January 2016 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to reflect 5-year survival according to patients' clinical characteristics. The Cox regression model was used to analyze prognostic factors of grade II glioma.

resultsPreoperative KPS scores <60, 60-80, and >80 accounted for 25.00% (15/60), 40.00% (24/60), and 35.00% (21/60), respectively. The largest tumor diameter LTD was less than 5 cm revealed in 60.00% patients, of which astrocytoma accounted for 65.00%. Subventricular zone (SVZ) expansion occurred in 23.33% of the patients and peritumoral edema occurred in 16.67% of the patients. The median follow-up time was 54 months. 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates of all patients were 70.0% and 56.7%, respectively. The Cox regression model indicated SVZ expansion, surgical resections, and recurrence were the independent prognostic factors of grade II glioma.

conclusionThese data suggested that SVZ expansion, surgical resections, and recurrence were independent factors affecting the prognosis of grade II glioma. According to the above clinical indexes of patients, individualized therapies can be established to prolong the survival time of patients.
