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

The World Health Organization's (WHO) classification of central nervous system (CNS) tumors is continually being refined to improve the existing diagnostic criteria for high-grade gliomas (HGGs), including glioblastoma. In 2021, advances in molecular analyses and DNA methylation profiling were incorporated to expand upon the diagnostic criteria for HGG, including the introduction of high-grade astrocytoma with piloid features (HGAP), a new tumor entity for which a match to the HGAP class in DNA methylation profiling is an essential criterion. We present an equivocal case of a 72-year-old male with an HGG exhibiting features of both HGAP and glioblastoma, but which did not conform to any existing 2021 WHO classification of CNS tumor entities. This "no match" in DNA methylation profiling resulted in a final diagnosis of HGG not elsewhere classified (NEC), for which standard treatment options do not exist.
