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.
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
purposeIsocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant (mIDH) gliomas are slow-growing infiltrating tumors of astrocytic or oligodendroglial origin. Mutated metabolic enzymes IDH1 or IDH2 lead to the production of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) that can be measured with optimized in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). As the 2HG oncometabolite plays a key role in the molecular pathogenesis of mIDH tumor, direct suppression of 2HG production has proven to be a viable intervention strategy, for example, with the small-molecule inhibitors ivosidenib (mIDH1) and vorasidenib (mIDH1/mIDH2). The aim of this study was to explore whether MRS measurements of 2HG can be used to noninvasively monitor response to treatment with mIDH inhibitors and to relate this response to changes in MRI-assessed tumor volume. EXPERIMENTAL
designEighteen patients with diagnosed IDH-mutated glioma were enrolled and received ivosidenib or vorasidenib therapy. MRI/MRS scans with 2HG-optimized single-voxel PRESS were performed before treatment and repeated (follow-up) with a median on-drug follow-up of 4.3 months.
resultsIn the 14 patients that passed spectroscopy quality control (median follow-up 3.9 months), we observed a substantial and significant decrease in 2HG levels (P < 0.001) regardless of tumor and treatment type (astrocytoma/oligodendroglioma and ivosidenib/vorasidenib), whereas total choline (tCho) and glutamine, metabolites characteristically increased in glioma, also showed a significant decrease (P < 0.01). Volumetric assessment revealed a modest decrease on average, indicating tumor growth arrest.
conclusionThe striking reductions in tumor 2HG and tCho levels early following initiation of targeted therapy using an IDH inhibitor suggest that MRS may provide an important tool for monitoring treatment response of lower-grade gliomas.
