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

Adult-type diffuse gliomas are treated with a multimodality treatment approach that includes radiotherapy both in the primary setting, and in the case of progressive or recurrent disease. Radiation necrosis represents a major complication of radiotherapy. Recurrent disease and treatment-related changes are often indistinguishable using conventional imaging methods. The present systematic review aims at assessing the diagnostic role of PET imaging using different radiopharmaceuticals in differentiating radiation necrosis and disease relapse in irradiated adult-type diffuse gliomas. We conducted a comprehensive literature search using the PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE databases for original research studies of interest. In total, 436 articles were assessed for eligibility. Ten original papers, published between 2014 and 2022, were selected. Four articles focused on [
