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

Gliomas are a heterogenous group of central nervous system tumors with different outcomes and different therapeutic needs. Glioblastoma, the most common subtype in adults, has a very poor prognosis and disabling consequences. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification specifies that the typing and grading of gliomas should include molecular markers. The molecular characterization of gliomas has implications for prognosis, treatment planning, and prediction of treatment response. At present, gliomas are diagnosed via tumor resection or biopsy, which are always invasive and frequently risky methods. In recent years, however, substantial advances have been made in developing different methods for the molecular characterization of tumors through the analysis of products shed in body fluids. Known as liquid biopsies, these analyses can potentially provide diagnostic and prognostic information, guidance on choice of treatment, and real-time information on tumor status. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is another good source of tumor data; radiomics and radiogenomics can link the imaging phenotypes to gene expression patterns and provide insights to tumor biology and underlying molecular signatures. Machine and deep learning and computational techniques can also use quantitative imaging features to non-invasively detect genetic mutations. The key molecular information obtained with liquid biopsies and radiogenomics can be useful not only in the diagnosis of gliomas but can also help predict response to specific treatments and provide guidelines for personalized medicine. In this article, we review the available data on the molecular characterization of gliomas using the non-invasive methods of liquid biopsy and MRI and suggest that these tools could be used in the future for the preoperative diagnosis of gliomas.
