The Patterns of Failure and Prognostic Impact of Tumor Location in Patients Undergoing Reirradiation for Glioblastoma.

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.
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
Introduction RTOG 1205 is the only randomized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of reirradiation (reRT) in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). While this study showed that reRT was safe and improves progression-free survival (PFS), an improved approach to reRT is still needed. In this study, we report on patterns of failure and outcomes in a cohort of patients with recurrent GBM who underwent reRT. We hypothesize that patients at high risk of leptomeningeal spread (LMS) are not good candidates for reRT due to the risk of treatment-related toxicity without clinical benefit. Methods In this retrospective study, patients with recurrent GBM who underwent reRT at a single institution from 2015-2023 were included. Sociodemographic, treatment, and outcomes data were collected via chart review. Time to progression was defined as the time from the start of reRT to progression per the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria. Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the start of reRT to death. PFS and OS were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Thirteen patients with recurrent GBM who underwent reRT were identified. The median age at diagnosis was 58 years. Six patients (46.2%) had tumors that were O
