Clinical, histopathological, and molecular features of IDH-wildtype indolent diffuse glioma: comparison with typical glioblastoma.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeIDH-wildtype (IDHwt) diffuse gliomas are treated as glioblastoma, however, some of these may show less aggressive clinical courses. The authors investigated the clinical, histopathological, and molecular characteristics of such IDHwt indolent diffuse gliomas (iDGwt), which have not been well documented in the literature.
methodsAdult patients with IDHwt gliomas admitted between 2011 and 2020 were surveyed. In this particular study, the clinical indolence was defined mainly as having a small enhancing lesion and a stable period for more than 1 month before surgery. The current WHO diagnostic criteria were adapted for the diagnoses. Gene mutations and copy number changes in 43 representative glioma-associated genes, MGMT promoter methylation status, and survival data were compared with those of The Cancer Genome Atlas reference cohort.
resultsNine out of 180 surveyed cases (5.0%) fulfilled the present criteria of the iDGwt. Considering the representative regulatory pathways, 8 (88.9%), 4 (44.4%), and 1 (11.1%) case had genetic alterations in the PI3K/MAPK, TP53, and RB pathways, respectively. The frequency of the RB pathway alteration was significantly lower than that in the reference cohort (281 of 362 cases: 77.6%). Two cases (22.2%) showing EGFR amplification met the diagnostic criteria for glioblastoma, and the frequency was significantly lower than that in the reference cohort (412 of 426 cases: 96.7%). The overall survival (median: 37.5 months) in the present series was significantly longer than that in the reference cohort (n = 426, median: 13.9 months).
conclusionsiDGwt lacked the molecular features of glioblastoma except for the PI3K/MAPK pathway alteration.
