Pre‑operative mean platelet volume is associated with overall survival in patients with IDH‑wildtype glioblastoma undergoing maximal safe resection.
Article in Oncology letters, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 (GBM) is the most common, fast-growing, and aggressive malignant primary CNS tumor, with a survival time of ~15 months despite the use of surgery and adjuvant treatments. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in exploring the potential contribution of hemostasis and platelet activation in GBM biology. The present study assessed the association between the pre-operative coagulation profile [as indicated by prothrombin time (PT) ratio and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ratio], overall platelets (PLT) count and the mean platelet volume (MPV) with tumoral characteristics and overall survival in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase-wildtype (IDH-wt) GBM.
