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

purposeNew therapies for glioblastoma are needed, especially

methodsAdults with newly diagnosed u

resultsOne hundred fifty-nine participants were randomly assigned (79 immunotherapy and 80 TMZ). Arms were well balanced for age (median 60 years, range, 28-79), sex (male n = 105, 66%), KPS (90-100 n = 97, 61%), resection extent (gross total, n = 103, 65%), and RPA class (III, n = 16, 10%; IV, n = 116, 73%; V, n = 27, 17%). A preplanned analysis of phase II data conducted after 100 centrally determined PFS events showed no significant PFS improvement for ipi and nivo versus TMZ (median 7.7 months

conclusionIpi and nivo did not improve PFS among patients with newly diagnosed u
