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

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and common malignant primary brain tumor among adults. Due to its aggressiveness, GBM entails a short median overall survival and fatal outcomes. Incidence notably increases with age, 50% of patients being diagnosed at the age of 65 or older. Given that cognitive loss is commonly confused with age-related cognitive impairment, delays in diagnosis are frequent. Furthermore, the elderly are a vulnerable group, commonly having poorer functional status, more comorbidities, and reduced tolerance to intensive treatments. Therefore, clinical and therapeutic implications should be considered within a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of the present study was to review the current knowledge on the management of glioblastoma in the elderly population (≥ 65 years).
