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

purposeAlthough low-grade glioma (LGG) patients are young with a long-life expectancy, their capacity to study received less attention. Here, the ability to complete studies and to pass examination in students following awake surgery (AS) was investigated.

methodsStudents who underwent AS with mapping-based resection for LGG were consecutively selected, with analysis of their capability to continue studies and to obtain diploma.

resultsTwenty-one patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria (5 men/16 women, mean age 22.9 ± 5.71 years), 4 high-school students and 17 university students - including 6 medical students, 4 masters (social work, management, human resource, civic service), 1 insurance BTS, business, engineering, secretarial, physiotherapy, police and accounting studies. The preoperative median KPS score was 95.2 ± 8.1. The mean tumor volume [TV] was 47.6 ± 49.6 cm

conclusionThis is the first series showing that AS preserves the ability to acquire new competences in students with LGG, who were able to complete their studies and to be graduated in 95% of cases.
