A Prospective Study of Longitudinal Risks of Cognitive Deficit for People Undergoing Glioblastoma Surgery Using a Tablet Computer Cognition Testing Battery: Towards Personalized Understanding of Risks to Cognitive Function.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Glioblastoma and the surgery to remove it pose high risks to the cognitive function of patients. Little reliable data exist about these risks, especially postoperatively before radiotherapy. We hypothesized that cognitive deficit risks detected before surgery will be exacerbated by surgery in patients with glioblastoma undergoing maximal treatment regimens. We used longitudinal electronic cognitive testing perioperatively to perform a prospective, longitudinal, observational study of 49 participants with glioblastoma undergoing surgery. Before surgery (A1), the participant risk of deficit in 5/6 cognitive domains was increased compared to normative data. Of these, the risks to Attention (OR = 31.19), Memory (OR = 97.38), and Perception (OR = 213.75) were markedly increased. These risks significantly increased in the early period after surgery (A2) when patients were discharged home or seen in the clinic to discuss histology results. For participants tested at 4-6 weeks after surgery (A3) before starting radiotherapy, there was evidence of risk reduction towards A1. The observed risks of cognitive deficit were independent of patient-specific, tumour-specific, and surgery-specific co-variates. These results reveal a timeframe of natural recovery in the first 4-6 weeks after surgery based on personalized deficit profiles for each participant. Future research in this period could investigate personalized rehabilitation tools to aid the recovery process found.
