1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Currently reported survival outcomes for gliomas exhibit significant variability and controversy. In this study, we aim to provide survival data in Chinese populations by conducting a retrospective analysis of management and survival trends in a large cohort of glioma patients from a single institute in China. A total of 1206 patients with newly diagnosed gliomas treated between 2000 and 2020 were enrolled, including 537 glioblastoma (WHO grade 4), 450 astrocytomas (grade 2/3) and 219 oligodendroglial tumors (grade 2/3). The estimated overall survival at 5 years was 18.9% for glioblastoma, 58.8% for astrocytomas, and 80.7% for oligodendroglial tumors, while median survival was 17.2 months, 82.8 months, and not reached, respectively. The survival trend has increased over the past decades for all types of gliomas. Additionally, similar survival trends were observed between grade 2 and 3 IDH-mutant gliomas. Rising trends were observed in patients undergoing postsurgical radiation and chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis identified adjuvant radiochemotherapy as an independent factor for better prognosis in glioblastoma and astrocytomas. In summary, despite its retrospective nature, this cohort of glioma patients exhibits favorable survival outcomes compared to global statistics, indicating a geographical disparity in glioma prognosis. The promotion of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy contributes to improved prognosis.
