Long-Term Survival of Patients With Glioblastoma of the Pineal Gland: A ChatGPT-Assisted, Updated Case of a Multimodal Treatment Strategy Resulting in Extremely Long Overall Survival at a Site With Historically Poor Outcomes.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We present an updated case report of a patient with glioblastoma isolated to the pineal gland with an overall survival greater than five years and no progression of focal central nervous system (CNS) deficits since initial presentation. The patient underwent radiotherapy up to 60 Gy with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide with the use of non-standard treatment volumes that included the ventricular system. The utilization of ventricular irradiation as well as the addition of bevacizumab at disease recurrence may have encouraged this unusually long survival by preventing/delaying leptomeningeal spread. We also present an updated review of the literature, which shows a median survival of six months, reinforcing the patients atypical disease trajectory. Finally, we utilize OpenAI's language model ChatGPT to aid in synthesizing this manuscript. In doing so, we demonstrate that ChatGPT is apt at creating concise summaries of relevant literature and topic subjects, however its output is often repetitive with similar sentence/paragraph structure, less than ideal grammar and poor syntax requiring editing. Thus, in its current iteration, ChatGPT is a helpful aid that cuts down on the time spent in data acquisition and processing but is not a replacement for human input in the creation of quality medical literature.
