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

Purpose: Available prognostic scores for adult-type diffuse glioma with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant were validated before the evaluation of biomolecular features. The selection of patients who did not receive postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy would provide an ideal setting to describe the natural history of these tumors. Methods: We investigated the clinical outcomes of patients with adult-type diffuse glioma with isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH mutation approached with active surveillance after primary surgery. Results: We evaluated 61 patients consisting of 35 patients with IDH-mutant astrocytomas and 26 patients with IDH-mutant 1p19q oligodendrogliomas. The median follow-up was 13.1 years (95% CI 11.4-17.7). A total of 56 progression-free survival events were available at the time of analysis. The median age was 32.2 years, higher in IDH-mutant 1p19q oligodendrogliomas (39.5 years) compared to IDH-mutant astrocytomas (31.4 years; p = 0.003). Residual tumor [hazard ratio (HR) 2.63, 95% CI -1.23 to 5.58, p = 0.007], post-surgical diameter product (HR 1.11, 95% CI 1-1.22, p = 0.03), and midline crossing (HR 6.79, 95% CI 1.5-30.4, p = 0.005) were the only factors directly influencing progression-free survival in univariate analyses. No variables confirmed their predictive role in multivariate models. At the time of data analysis, we registered 22 overall survival (OS) events. In a multivariate Cox regression model, histo-molecular diagnosis (oligodendroglioma Conclusions: In our series, the presence and dimension of residual tumors and midline crossing were the only independent variables predicting progression-free survival after primary surgery in grade 2 diffuse glioma.
