An ambispective, observational real-world study of tumor-treating fields for treatment of Chinese patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent/progressive glioblastoma.

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
Background: Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive central nervous system malignancy with poor prognosis. Tumor-treating fields (TTFields), approved in China in May 2020, represents a significant advancement in GBM treatment. Leveraging the extensive real-world data accumulated in the Chinese Medical Information and Big Data Association (CHMIA) database, this study aims to assess clinical outcomes of Chinese patients with glioblastoma on TTFields therapy. Methods: This ambispective, observational study assessed post-marketing safety (data cut-off: November 15, 2021) and effectiveness (data cut-off: May 18, 2024) of TTFields in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (ndGBM) and recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM). Safety outcomes included incidence and severity of skin adverse events (AEs); effectiveness was measured by overall survival (OS) and landmark OS rates. Results: Of 648 patients screened for this study, 315 were eligible and enrolled for analysis (ndGBM: Conclusions: This study provided the largest real-world dataset to-date on TTFields in Chinese patients with glioblastoma. These patients showed survival outcomes similar to those in prior pivotal studies, without new safety concerns identified, supporting its use in Chinese glioblastoma population.
