Characteristics, outcome, and prognostic factors of young patients with central nervous system World Health Organization grade 3 oligodendrogliomas IDH-mutant and 1p/19q codeleted: A French POLA network study.
Article in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundBrain tumors represent one of the main causes of cancer-related mortality in young patients. Among them, oligodendrogliomas (OG) are adult-type diffuse gliomas with the best prognosis. Nevertheless, characterization of these tumors in the young population remains poorly documented. Our objective was to characterize the population of young adults under 40 years of age with grade 3 OG in the POLA cohort.
methodsClinical data prospectively collected for all patients registered with grade 3 OG between April 2009 and August 2021 were extracted from the national POLA database. This study compared the patient subgroup <40 years of age to the one >40 years of age.
resultsThe authors included 111 patients <40 years old and 363 patients ≥40 years old. Treatment received did not differ significantly between the two subgroups. Temporal location was more frequent in older patients (p = .009). Patients <40 years old presented more often seizure as initial symptom (p = .003). They had less frequent chromosome 9p loss (p < .001) and less CDKN2A homozygous deletion (p = .024). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 123 months (range, 86-not reached [NR]) versus 88 months (range, 67-117) (p = .082) and median overall survival (OS) was not reached (range, 147-NR) versus 163 months (range, 137-NR) (p < .001) in younger and older subgroups, respectively. In multivariate analysis, complete or subtotal resection (p = .014) and seizure at diagnosis (p = .032) were associated with better OS.
conclusionYoung patients with grade 3 OG have distinct clinical presentation, molecular features, and outcomes compared to the older patients.
