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

Gliomatosis cerebri is a low incidence diffuse glial tumor that affects three or more brain lobes. The survival rate is < 5 years in 20% of the patients. Although chemotherapy seems to improve life expectancy, to date no interventions have been described that help improve the quality of life of these patients. The aim of this study was to assess if physical therapy may contribute to do this. We present the case of a female patient with gliomatosis cerebri of nine years of evolution showing dependence on technical supports and supervision during walking, reduced speed and balance, tremor and dystonia in lower limbs. The patient underwent physiotherapy treatment: trunk control exercises, limb strength, and gait ability. Improvement in functionality was observed. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to confirm these results .
