Oncolytic Virotherapy for Relapsed, IDH-Mutant, Grade 3 Astrocytoma: A New Promising Approach - A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in oncology. 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
Introduction: IDH-mutant astrocytomas are high-grade gliomas with a poor prognosis. Transformation to glioblastoma multiforme is common, which further shortens overall survival and frequently renders the tumor inoperable. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have been shown to be safe and effective agents for the treatment of some malignant brain tumors. Intra-tumoral application may further enhance their therapeutic potential. Case Presentation: This report presents a case of a 37-year-old female patient with advanced relapsed grade 3 astrocytoma, with multiple foci, including one along the rim of the left fronto-parietal post-op cavity, who was treated with a one-shot OV regimen via an Ommaya reservoir (IO-OV), with the catheter tip placed intra-tumorally. Adjunct electro-hyperthermia therapy was also provided. No evidence of disease (NED) was achieved after the first cycle of IO-OV and was maintained for 9 months until the non-vaccinated patient contracted COVID-19, after which aggressive and refractory relapse occurred. Conclusion: OV therapy proved to induce significant clinical improvements and radiological NED for this incurable astrocytoma. This promising modality should be evaluated as an adjunct to first-line therapy for inoperable brain tumors.
