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.

Abstract

Lower-grade gliomas (LrGGs) are rare tumors that mainly concern young adults, with an overall survival ranging from 5 to 20 years and without any curative treatment to date. LrGGs are frequently associated with psychological disorders and neurocognitive impairments, including memory and dysexecutive syndrome, that can negatively affect professional, familial and social functioning, ultimately reducing the patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Maintaining an acceptable HRQoL is a key objective because survival outcomes tend to be better in patients with fewer psychopathological comorbidities and better HRQoL. Neuropsychological rehabilitation and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have shown promising results in patients with neurological conditions, mental health disorders, and cancer. However, they are not routinely used in patients with LrGG, and onco-neuro-psychologists (i.e., neuro-psychologists trained in oncology) with expertise in neurocognition and CBT are lacking. The aim of this study protocol is to evaluate the efficacy of the remote FREEDOME program, which integrates CBT and a digital neurocognitive tool, in patients with LrGG who experience cognitive complaints post-therapeutic phase. This ongoing, prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized trial (1:2) should include 187 patients with LrGG considered "stable" (12 months after surgery, 6 months after chemotherapy or radiotherapy) and who are not planned to receive any cancer treatment in the first 4 months after enrollment. The primary objective is to assess the FREEDOME program effects on perceived cognitive impairment at month 4 post-inclusion. Secondary objectives include patient adherence to the intervention, and effects on the subjective and objective neurocognitive functioning, HRQoL (including sleep, fatigue and return-to-work) and psychopathological symptoms over time. The study will also explore the intervention effects on the patient memory and irritability, as perceived by family caregivers. This study may represent an important step in the implementation of evidence-based neuropsychological interventions tailored to the specific needs of patients with LrGG. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06468176; ID-RCB: 2023-A02376-39.
