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

purpose of reviewIn low-grade glioma (LGG), besides the patient's neurological status and tumor characteristics on neuroimaging, current treatment guidelines mainly rely on the glioma's genetics at diagnosis to define therapeutic strategy, usually starting with surgical resection. However, this snapshot in time does not take into account the antecedent period of tumor progression and its interactions with the brain before presentation. This article reviews new concepts that pertain to reconstruct the history of previous interplay between the LGG's course and adaptive changes in the connectome within which the glioma is embedded over the years preceding the diagnosis. RECENT

findingsMicroscale and macroscale parameters helpful for extrapolating backward in time are considered, both for the glioma (kinetics, migration vs. proliferation profile, metabolism with possible intratumoral heterogeneity, relationships with surrounding cerebral pathways) and for patterns of reconfiguration within and across neural networks in reaction to the LGG leading to considerable interindividual cerebral variability. Modelling these continuous variations at the time of LGG diagnosis is a prerequisite to predict recovery from treatment(s). It is important to go beyond the biology of the LGG at a given moment of its history, and instead construct a more comprehensive picture of the past and present dynamics of glioma-brain interactions, and their ongoing evolution, as a necessary stage to optimize a personalized management plan by thinking several steps ahead.
