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

backgroundThis case series describes the safety and efficacy of superselective intra-arterial (IA) cerebral infusion of teniposide for the treatment of patients with glioma, to provide new ideas and methods for the treatment of high grade gliomas.

methods12 patients with glioma who were previously treated with standard therapy were treated with superselective IA cerebral infusion of teniposide. Patients received at least two cycles of treatment (one cycle: 150 mg/time, used for 1 day, repeated at 28 day intervals) after blood-brain barrier disruption. Patients received individualized treatment on the tumor location. The ophthalmic artery was bypassed during the super-selective arterial infusion.

resultsNo significant differences in biochemical indexes and Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score were observed before and after treatment, and no evident adverse events occurred (P>0.05). In a recent response evaluation (August 2023), two (8%) patients presented with a complete response (16.7%), four had a partial response (33.3%), four had stable disease (33.3%), and two showed progressive disease (16.7%). The overall response rate and disease control rate were 50.0% and 83.3%, respectively. In addition, we described the detailed course of treatment in two patients. Case No 1 (recurrent tumor) and case No 2 (primary tumor) received six and three cycles of teniposide infusion, respectively. After treatment, the tumors of the patients were significantly reduced without evident adverse effects.

conclusionThis small series suggests that superselective IA cerebral infusion of teniposide may be a safe and effective therapy in the multimodal treatment of malignant glioma and warrants further study in larger prospective investigations.
