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

According to the 2021 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, glioblastoma (GB) is a primary brain tumor and presents with the worst prognosis. Due to its infiltrating characteristic, molecular heterogeneity, and only partly preserved function of the blood-brain barrier, the median overall survival time is short (9-15 months), regardless of comprehensive treatment including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Several novel treatment strategies are under investigation. Unfortunately, none of them produced successful results; 90% of patients have a recurrence of the disease within 6 months. Local administration of the drug could be a promising approach to delivering treatment with minimized side effects, due to the recurrence of 95% glioblastomas in a margin of 2 cm at the primary site. Several ligand-receptor systems have been evaluated, such as targeting tenascin, the extracellular matrix protein, or radiolabeled somatostatin analogs, as it is overexpressed with the SSTR-2 receptor system in around 80% of gliomas. Moreover, this study revealed that the NK-1 receptor is overexpressed in GB, suggesting that substance P (SP) may serve as a ligand. A variety of radioisotopes, beta- (
