Bevacizumab-Induced Hypertension as a Potential Physiological Clinical Biomarker for Improved Outcomes in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
With the advancement in medicine leading to the discovery of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs, numerous oncologists are now commonly using antiangiogenic medications to improve outcomes and attain disease control. Thus, the significance of prognostic and predictive indicators in patient selection has become increasingly imperative. These biomarkers have the capacity to be highly effective and can easily be implemented in various diagnostic and therapeutic settings on a large scale. Overall, it has the potential of significantly decreasing mortality in a fatal disease and possibly achieving partial or complete remission. Many clinical trials have shown the efficacy of bevacizumab in treating malignancies. However, there are currently no known predictive or prognostic biomarkers for bevacizumab in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Several clinical studies have evaluated bevacizumab-induced hypertension as a potential marker in patients with different malignancies, including recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (rGBM). This systematic review was performed to determine the association of bevacizumab-induced hypertension with outcomes in patients with advanced brain cancer and to assess whether hypertension (HTN) can be used as a prognostic factor. The review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, and the databases were searched from January 2012 to June 2022. This review aimed to evaluate six published studies to investigate the relationship between hypertension and the outcomes of patients with rGBM treated with bevacizumab. Among the included publications, four out of six were retrospective and featured a positive result regarding hypertension being used as an independent predictive factor of survival outcomes in rGBM. However, two studies showed negative results. This can be attributed to the limited subsets of patients and the duration of the studies. In conclusion, bevacizumab-induced hypertension may represent a prognostic factor in patients with rGBM.
