Change in volumetric tumor growth rate after cytotoxic therapy is predictive of overall survival in recurrent glioblastoma.

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
Background: Alterations in tumor growth rate (TGR) in recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) after treatment may be useful for identifying therapeutic activity. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of volumetric TGR alterations on overall survival (OS) in rGBM treated with chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy (RT). Methods: Sixty-one rGBM patients treated with chemotherapy with or without concomitant radiation therapy (RT) at 1st or 2nd recurrence were retrospectively examined. Pre- and post-treatment contrast enhancing volumes were computed. Patients were considered "responders" if they reached progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS6) and showed a decrease in TGR after treatment and "non-responders" if they didn't reach PFS6 or if TGR increased. Results: Stratification by PFS6 and based on TGR resulted in significant differences in OS both for all patients and for patients without RT ( Conclusion: A decrease in TGR in patients with PFS6, along with smaller baseline tumor volume, were associated with a significantly longer OS in rGBM treated with chemotherapy with or without radiation. Importantly, all patients that exhibited PFS6 also showed a measurable decrease in TGR.
