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

aimTo investigate the prognostic factors of survival in patients with high-grade gliomas without isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH) mutation and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation.

methodsThe study enrolled Slovenian patients with high-grade gliomas. Postoperatively, they completed a battery of neuropsychological tests. Demographics and clinical data were collected. The results of cognitive tests were converted to standardized scores and dichotomized based on impairment. A univariate Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to determine clinical predictors, and a multivariate Cox model was used to determine the prognostic value of cognitive test results. Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed, and survival was compared with the log rank test.

resultsThe study enrolled 49 patients with IDH wild-type, MGMT-unmethylated high-grade gliomas. The median time to progression was 9.92 months (7.25, 12.59) and the overall median survival was 12.19 months (8.95, 15.4). Age and the extent of surgery were significant prognostic factors for survival. After controlling for these factors, cognitive functioning in the domain of verbal fluency remained a significant predictor of survival outcomes.

conclusionCognitive functioning in the domain of verbal fluency was associated with overall survival independently of age and the extent of surgery. Cognitive functioning could be an important stratifying tool in this group of patients lacking other predictors.
