Rapid Interval Recurrence of Glioblastoma Following Gross Total Resection: A Possible Indication for GammaTileⓇ Brachytherapy.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Glioblastoma recurrence between initial resection and standard-of-care adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a negative prognostic factor in an already highly aggressive disease. Re-resection with GammaTileⓇ(GT Medical Technologies Inc., Tempe, AZ) placement affords expedited adjuvant radiation to mitigate the likelihood of such growth. Here, we report a glioblastoma patient who underwent re-resection and GammaTileⓇ (GT) placement within two months of the initial gross total resection due to regrowth that reached the size of the original presenting tumor. The patient subsequently received concurrent temozolomide and 60 Gy external beam to regions outside of the brachytherapy range, fulfilling the generally accepted Stupp regimen. The patient tolerated the treatment without complication. The dosimetrics and implications of the case presentation are reviewed.
