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

purposeIDH-wildtype (IDH-wt) diffuse gliomas with histological features of lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) are rare and heterogeneous primary brain tumours. [

methodsPatients with a histological diagnosis of IDH-wt LGG who underwent preoperative (< 100 days) MET PET/CT and surgery were retrospectively included. Qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses of MET PET images were performed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analysed by Kaplan-Meier curves. Cox proportional-hazards regression was used to test the association of imaging and clinical data to PFS and OS.

resultsWe included 48 patients (M:F = 25:23; median age 55). 39 lesions were positive and 9 negative at MET PET. Positive MET PET was significantly associated with shorter median PFS (15.7 months vs. not reached, p = 0.0146) and OS time (32.6 months vs. not reached, p = 0.0253). Incomplete surgical resection and higher TBR

conclusionMET PET is useful for the prognostic stratification of patients with IDH-wt glial neoplasms with histological LGGs features. Considering their huge biological heterogeneity, the combination of MET PET and molecular analyses may help to improve the prognostic accuracy in these diffuse gliomas subset and influence therapeutic choices accordingly.
