Repeated surgical resections for management of high-grade glioma and its impact on quality of life.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeHigh-grade gliomas (HGG) are aggressive cancers, and their recurrence is inevitable, despite advances in treatment options. While repeated tumor resection has been shown to increase survival rate, its impact on quality of life is not clearly defined. To address this gap, we compared quality of life (QoL) changes in HGG patients who underwent first-time (FTR) versus repeat surgical resections (RSR) for management of recurrence.
methodsForty-four adults with HGG who underwent tumor resection were included in this study and classified into either the FTR group (n = 23) or the RSR group (n = 21). All patients completed comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations that included the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog) scales, pre-operatively and at two weeks post-operatively.
resultsThere was no difference between the FTR and RSR groups in any of the QoL indices (all p > .05), except for improved emotional well-being and worsened social well-being, suggesting minimal detrimental effects of repeat surgeries on QoL in comparison to first time surgery.
conclusionsThese results suggest that repeated resection is a viable strategy in certain cases for management of HGG recurrence, with similar impact on QoL as observed in patients undergoing first time surgery. These encouraging outcomes provide useful insight to guide treatment strategies and patient and clinician decision making to optimize surgical and functional outcomes.
