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

Hypervascularization is a notable pathological hallmark of glioblastoma (GBM). Bevacizumab (Bev) remains the sole antiangiogenic agent approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for GBM treatment. The approval for this indication was supported by several phase II studies demonstrating that Bev significantly improved progression-free survival and the best imaging response in patients with recurrent GBM. Three large phase III randomized controlled trials reported that Bev did not significantly extend overall survival (OS). Nevertheless, Bev has been shown to delay the deterioration of patients' quality of life by postponing tumor progression. This review synthesizes findings from recent investigations exploring Bev in combination with targeted therapies, immunotherapy, or reirradiation. Additionally, this review discusses dosing regimens, administration, treatment failure patterns, third-line therapeutic applications, and prognostic markers of Bev. By synthesizing current evidence, this review aims to inform clinical decision-making for neuro-oncology clinicians.
