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

In recent years, there has been advancement in the management of primary and secondary brain tumors within a multidisciplinary framework. However, substantial challenges persist in optimizing treatment strategies, enhancing survival rates, and improving patient prognosis and quality of life. These challenges stem from the complex interplay of biological processes that drive tumor pathogenesis and encompass factors such as tumor heterogeneity and patient variability together with surgical access and resectability in certain brain areas. Current therapeutic modalities - surgical resection, radiotherapy, and systemic pharmacotherapy - all have their own inherent limitations. However, promising alternative treatments are seen in emerging techniques such as endovascular radiosurgery, specifically ones that use intra-arterial delivery of radioactive Yttrium-90 (
