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

Background: Oligodendrogliomas are generally low-grade glial neoplasms commonly occurring in a cortical or subcortical location and frequently contain coarse calcifications. Tumors with 1p and 19q codeletions behave atypically and are more likely to have ill-defined margins and tend to have calcification. Very rarely, diffuse pattern and gliomatosis type of infiltrative nature of oligodendrogliomas have been described in sporadic case reports. Case Description: In this article, we present a case of a 31-year-old male who had diffuse multifocal oligodendroglioma with rare features of extensive callosal and brainstem involvement on imaging. Conclusion: Rare cases of oligodendrocytic gliomatosis cerebri or oligodendrogliomatosis with diffuse white matter spread of these tumors usually lead to a detrimental course of neurological status and a poor prognosis in these patients.
