Regorafenib beyond the Second Line in Relapsed Glioblastoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in oncology. 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
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most frequent and aggressive primary tumors in the central nervous system, representing more than 60% of all brain tumors in adults. Primary GBM remains incurable with a poor prognosis both for limited therapeutic alternatives and for a high risk of progression or recurrence. In fact, at recurrence, the few treatment options available, and often characterized by limited effectiveness, have always been an Achilles' heel. The recent approval of second line of regorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, has given hope after several years of darkness for new therapies in the treatment of GBM. Indeed, in the REGOMA trial, a phase 2 study, regorafenib was the first drug to show a statistically significant improvement in median overall survival compared with lomustine group, usually used in the second-line treatment after temozolomide failure. We report a case of a 43-year-old patient affected by GBM in treatment with regorafenib in third line of therapy with good disease control and long PFS.
