Hypo-fractionated accelerated radiotherapy with concurrent and maintenance temozolomide in newly diagnosed glioblastoma: updated results from phase II HART-GBM trial.
Trial report in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07492836 (Prospective, Pilot Study to Evaluate Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Associated With Temozolomide in Patients Aged 18 to 70 Years With Glioblastoma), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
backgroundGlioblastoma (GBM) patients have poor survival outcomes despite treatment advances and most recurrences occur within the radiation field. Survival outcomes after dose escalation through hypofractionated accelerated RT(HART) were evaluated in this study. We previously reported the study's initial results showing similar survival outcomes with acceptable toxicities. Updated results after 5 years are being analysed to determine long-term survival trends. PATIENTS AND
methods89 patients of newly diagnosed GBM after surgery were randomized to conventional radiotherapy (CRT) or HART. CRT arm received adjuvant RT 60 Gy in 30 fractions over 6 weeks and the HART arm received 60 Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks, both with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide.
results83 patients were eligible for analysis. After a median follow-up of 18.9 months, the median OS was 26.5 months and 22.4 months in the HART and CRT arms respectively. 5 year OS was 18.4% in the HART arm versus 3.8% in the CRT arm. This numerical difference in overall survival between the two arms was not statistically significant. The median PFS was not significantly different.
conclusionThe long-term results of the trial support HART as a promising treatment option with comparable survival outcomes to the current standard of care. Phase III trials are required for further validation of this regimen which has the potential to become the new standard of care in GBM.
