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

backgroundAdult thalamic gliomas are a rare entity whose management is challenging for physicians. The aim of this study is to describe the characteristics and prognostic factors of thalamic gliomas in adult patients.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical, neuro-radiological, histological, and molecular characteristics of all cases of adult thalamic glioma in our regional center.

resultsWe included 38 adult patients. Median age at diagnosis was 56.5 years old (range, 24-80). Median KPS at diagnosis was 70%. Two-thirds of patients presented with tumor necrosis on MRI. Bithalamic lesions were present in four patients. The median volume of enhancement associated with lesions was relatively small (14 mm

conclusionThalamic adult glioma differs from bithalamic glioma in children with regards to its clinical, radiological and molecular profiles. Long-term survival is observed in young patients with limited symptoms and H3K27M mutation. A larger prospective cohort is needed to validate these findings.
