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

Brain tumors, despite the high mortality and morbidity, they are a rare type of heterogenous tumors that are highly dependent on sex, age, race, level of education, and socioeconomic status. Due to their high mortality rates, it is important to identify as many potential biomarkers for early detection as the earlier the tumor is discovered, the better the prognosis. One such early biomarker we propose in the current paper is the assessment of anxiety, depression, and cognitive changes. In most cancer patients, a certain degree of anxiety and depression is expected upon receiving the diagnosis as it triggers fears regarding the prognosis, possible side effects of the treatment, and even the possibility of the treatment failing. In this paper we analyzed the way anxiety, depression, and cognitive changes present themselves in the case of several types of tumors and whether these could be used as early markers. We have observed that most of the cognitive changes present are due to the location, size, and type of the tumor with some highly connected to anxiety and depression. Moreover, in the case of certain tumors, the removal of the mass has not improved the mood or cognitive function.
