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

Humans with high-grade gliomas have a poor prognosis, with a mean survival time of just 12-18 months for patients who undergo standard-of-care tumor resection and adjuvant therapy. Currently, surgery and chemoradiotherapy serve as standard treatments for this condition, yet these can be complicated by the tumor location, growth rate and recurrence. Currently, gadolinium-based, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) serves as the predominant imaging modality for recurrent high-grade gliomas, but it faces several drawbacks, including its inability to distinguish tumor recurrence from treatment-related changes and its failure to reveal the entirety of tumor burden (de novo or recurrent) due to limitations inherent to gadolinium contrast. As such, alternative imaging modalities that can address these limitations, including positron emission tomography (PET), are worth pursuing. To this end, the identification of PET-based markers for use in imaging of recurrent high-grade gliomas is paramount. This review will highlight several PET radiotracers that have been implemented in clinical practice and provide a comparison between them to assess the efficacy of these tracers.
