Glioblastoma with markedly reduced contrast enhancement after corticosteroid administration: Increased density and reduced diffusion capability are noteworthy.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Corticosteroids are widely used to manage peritumoral edema and associated neurological deficits in patients with brain tumors. We describe the case of a 71-year-old male patient with glioblastoma in which contrast enhancement decreased on radiographic imaging following corticosteroid administration, which has been reported previously in only 9 cases. This report aims to discuss radiographic changes in glioblastoma (density on computed tomography and diffusion capability on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, in addition to enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging) following steroid administration and also following steroid discontinuation.
