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

Diffuse gliomas are biologically heterogeneous primary brain tumors with variable clinical behavior, and age is a well-recognized prognostic factor; however, integrated real-world data from Eastern European populations remain limited. The aim of this study was to describe how clinical, imaging, molecular, treatment, and survival data co-vary across age groups in a Romanian tertiary neuro-oncology cohort, rather than to identify new biological associations. We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of 283 consecutive adult patients with histologically confirmed diffuse gliomas diagnosed between 2021 and 2024, classified according to the WHO 2021 framework. Patients were stratified into three predefined age groups (<40, 40-60, and >60 years), and clinical, histopathological, molecular, preoperative imaging, and treatment variables were compared using Pearson chi-square or Fisher exact tests; recurrence-free survival (RFS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank tests. Molecular testing availability varied across the cohort, reflecting progressive adoption of integrated molecular diagnostics. Older patients more frequently harbored IDH-wildtype glioblastoma, more aggressive imaging features, lower Karnofsky Performance Status, and received less intensive multimodal therapy. Unadjusted RFS decreased with advancing age (log-rank
