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

Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumors. Their electrobiologic properties drive disease development, and in select tumors, aberrant neurosignaling is situated at the crux of gliomagenesis and glioma-related epilepsy. Tumor microtubes and the neuronal-glioma synapse are defined components of the glioma circuitry. The nidus of cortical hyperexcitability-the peri-glioma-undergoes severe alterations during disease progression and is influenced by genetic mutations, anomalous synaptic remodeling, inflammatory changes, and an imbalance in neurotransmitters. Such pathologic mechanisms have been exploited for anticancer and anti-seizure value wherein a subset remains to be explored. In this Review, we discuss the hyperexcitable conditions within the glioma microenvironment and candidate therapies for seizure and tumor control.
