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

introductionIntra-arterial (IA) delivery of therapeutic agents across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an evolving strategy which enables the distribution of high concentration therapeutics through a targeted vascular territory, while potentially limiting systemic toxicity. Studies have demonstrated IA methods to be safe and efficacious for a variety of therapeutics. However, further characterization of the clinical efficacy of IA therapy for the treatment of brain tumors and refinement of its potential applications are necessary.

methodsWe have reviewed the preclinical and clinical evidence supporting superselective intraarterial cerebral infusion (SSIACI) with BBB disruption for the treatment of brain tumors. In addition, we review ongoing clinical trials expanding the applicability and investigating the efficacy of IA therapy for the treatment of brain tumors.

resultsTrends in recent studies have embraced the use of SSIACI and less neurotoxic chemotherapies. The majority of trials continue to use mannitol as the preferred method of hyperosmolar BBB disruption. Recent preclinical and preliminary human investigations into the IA delivery of Bevacizumab have demonstrated its safety and efficacy as an anti-tumor agent both alone and in combination with chemotherapy.

conclusionIA drug delivery may significantly affect the way treatments are delivered to patients with brain tumors, and in particular GBM. With refinement and standardization of the techniques of IA drug delivery, improved drug selection and formulations, and the development of methods to minimize treatment-related neurological injury, IA therapy may offer significant benefits for the treatment of brain tumors.
