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

According to the new WHO classification of 2021, gliomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors with very different histology, molecular genetics, and prognoses. In addition to glioblastomas, the most common gliomas, there are also numerous less common gliomas, some of which have a very favorable prognosis. Targeted radionuclide therapy is a therapeutic option that can be attractive if a tumor can be targeted based on its molecular characteristics. It is particularly useful when tumors cannot be completely resected or when conventional imaging does not fully capture the extent of the tumor. Numerous approaches to radionuclide therapy for gliomas are in early development. The most advanced approaches for patients with gliomas in the clinic employ L-type amino acid transporter 1 as an uptake mechanism for radiolabeled amino acids or target somatostatin receptor 2 or gastrin-releasing peptide receptor. Here, we discuss the various target structures of radionuclide therapy in gliomas and provide an outlook for which glioma entities radionuclide therapy could most likely provide a therapeutic alternative.
