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

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults with a median survival of approximately 15 months, despite treatment, with most patients experiencing recurrence within 9 months of resection. The propensity of recurrence in GBM exemplifies the fatal course of the disease and remains an underlying area of study as novel instances of recurrence are encountered. The authors present a unique case of a 31-year-old male patient with a history of cerebellomedullary junction astrocytoma who later developed a supratentorial GBM followed by recurrence centered around a preexisting ventriculoperitoneal catheter and located in the hemisphere contralateral to his first GBM. Each of these lesions was initially thought to represent
