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

Background: Extent of resection (EOR) is associated with survival in glioblastoma. A standardized classification for EOR was lacking until a system was recently proposed by the response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) resect group. We aimed to assess EOR in an unselected glioblastoma cohort and use this classification system to evaluate the impact on survival in a real-world setting. Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients with histologically confirmed glioblastoma in Western Norway between 1.1.2007 and 31.12.2014. Volumetric analyses were performed using a semi-automated method. EOR was categorized according to the recent classification system. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard ratios were applied for survival analyses. Results: Among 235 included patients, biopsy (EOR class 4) was performed in 50 patients (21.3%), submaximal contrast enhancement (CE) resection (EOR class 3) in 66 patients (28.1%), and maximal CE resection (EOR class 2) in 119 patients (50.6%). Median survival was 6.2 months, 9.2 months, and 14.9 months, respectively. Within EOR class 2, 80 patients underwent complete CE resection (EOR class 2A) and had a median survival of 20.0 months, while 39 patients had a near-total CE resection, with ≤1 cm Conclusions: RANO resect group classification for the extent of resection reflected outcome from glioblastoma in a real-world setting. There was significantly superior survival after complete CE resection compared to near-total resection.
