Maximal Intraoperative 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Fluorescence During Surgical Resection of Multiple Lesions in Multifocal Glioblastoma to Achieve Greater Extent of Resection: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Multifocal glioblastoma represents a therapeutic challenge with conflicting evidence on treatment, though it appears that the extent of resection also plays an important role in this disease. The use of 5-aminolevulinic acid has been shown to improve the extent of resection in high-grade gliomas; however, there is little information about its use in multifocal glioblastoma. We present the case of a 79-year-old patient with distant glial lesions who underwent surgery for the resection of a right temporal and a right occipital lesion at the same surgical time. Intraoperative findings and postsurgical events are described in this report. This case shows that resection of multiple lesions in a patient with multifocal glioblastoma using intraoperative 5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescence is feasible and safe.
