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 primary central nervous system tumors characterized by a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis, especially in high-grade forms such as glioblastoma (GBM). Radiotherapy remains a cornerstone in glioma management, particularly following surgical resection. Recent advancements in technology-including intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), proton therapy, carbon-ion radiotherapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, and ultra-high dose rate FLASH radiotherapy-have improved treatment precision and tumor control. However, clinical challenges persist due to tumor heterogeneity, imaging limitations, and planning variability. In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), novel tools such as radiomics, deep learning, and predictive modeling are increasingly being integrated into glioma radiotherapy workflows. These AI-driven approaches have shown potential to enhance imaging interpretation, automate contouring, optimize treatment planning, and predict clinical outcomes. This review highlights the evolution of glioma radiotherapy, explores the emerging role of AI across various stages of radiotherapy, and discusses future directions for implementing personalized, adaptive, and data-driven strategies in clinical practice.
