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

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and common primary brain tumor. Diagnosis is based on imaging and is confirmed through a brain biopsy. Multimodal treatment, including gross total resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, is typically required. We report a case of a 79-year-old woman, a former smoker, who presented with a headache and generalized weakness and was found to have multiple brain lesions. The patient was diagnosed with glioblastoma and underwent partial resection. Multiple glioblastomas are a rare presentation and can be multicentric or multifocal. Patients with this presentation typically exhibit symptoms of high intracranial pressure. Glioblastomas have a poor prognosis despite multidisciplinary management. Glioblastoma should be considered a differential diagnosis for patients with multiple brain lesions.
