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

Theranostics is a new treatment modality integrating molecular imaging with targeted radionuclide therapy. Theranostic agents have received regulatory approval for some systemic cancers and have therapeutic potential in neuro-oncology. As clinical trials are developed to evaluate the efficacy of theranostic agents in brain tumors, specific considerations will have to be considered, taking into account lessons learned from previous studies examining other treatment modalities in neuro-oncology. These include the need for molecular imaging or surgical window-of-opportunity studies to confirm adequate passage across the blood-brain barrier, optimize eligibility criteria, and selection of the most appropriate response criteria and endpoints to address issues such as pseudoprogression. This review will discuss some of the issues that should be considered when designing clinical trials for theranostic agents.
