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
purposeThe relevance of tumor-related epilepsy (TRE) to glioma survival is controversial. This study aimed to assess the risk factors and prognostic impact of TRE in adult patients with diffuse gliomas by integrating clinical, radiological, and molecular data.
methodsThis multicenter retrospective study included 1036 adult patients with diffuse gliomas from local hospitals and the POLA Network. Patients were categorized into three prognostic groups: lower-grade oligodendroglioma/astrocytoma (OD/AC, II-III, IDH-MT), not otherwise specified or not elsewhere classified (NOS/NEC, II-III, IDH-WT), and high-grade gliomas (HGG, IV). Clinico-radiological, molecular, and therapeutic factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression, with the Cox proportional hazards model applied to identify independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
resultsTRE occurred in 44.4% of OD/AC patients, 25.8% of NOS/NEC patients, and 16.5% of HGG patients. Multivariate analysis identified age as the only significant independent correlate of TRE in the OD/AC group (OR = 0.961; p = 0.004), while the absence of deep structure involvement was independently associated with TRE in the NOS/NEC and HGG groups. In univariate analysis, the presence of TRE was associated with longer PFS and OS across all groups, particularly in the NOS/NEC group, where patients with TRE had a median PFS of 35.2 months compared to 13.6 months in those without TRE (p = 0.02), but was not a significant predictor in multivariate analyses. TRE was the only factor significantly associated with maintaining histological grade at recurrence (HR = 0.094; p = 0.005).
conclusionTRE was not a strong independent prognostic factor after controlling for clinical and molecular tumor features, suggesting that the prognostic relevance of TRE is likely driven by underlying glioma biology and other associated clinical factors.
