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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesGlioblastoma (GBM) is a hard-to-treat cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 5.7% without significant improvement in the past decades. Personalised strategies based on improved tumour characterisation and treatment-outcome prediction could support treatment adaptation and improve therapeutic efficacy. Magnetic Resonance (MR) is the standard imaging modality for GBM radiotherapy (RT) planning. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with O-(2)-[^18F]fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine (FET) is recommended for distinguishing recurrence from pseudo-progression. However, evidence on PET|MR complementarity for predicting treatment outcome in recurrent GBM remains limited.

methodsWe evaluated FET-PET|MR biomarkers to predict Time-To-Progression (TTP), Overall Survival (OS) and Acute Recurrence (AR) in a prospective cohort of 185 recurrent GBM patients from 15 institutions. T1-weighted contrast-enhanced, Fluid-Attenuation Inversion-Recovery, Apparent-Diffusion-Coefficient maps and FET-PET images were analysed. Gross- and Planning-Target Volumes (GTV/PTV) were manually delineated and the intersection of PET|MR-GTVs was defined as MR∩PET. Radiomics models were developed (5-fold cross-validation) and evaluated in a held-out test set. Additionally, nnUNet was used to predict MR∩PET from MR sequences.

resultsMR∩PET volume yielded the highest number of statistically significant models, 15 versus 6 for PET|MR-GTVs and 0 for PET|MR-PTVs. Of these 21 models, 19 required the inclusion of PET imaging. The best-performing models discriminated between short and long OS, with

conclusionsThe PET|MR radiomic models derived from our multicentre prospective cohort support the identification of recurrent GBM patients with poor RT outcomes, potentially enabling future personalised strategies for treatment improvement.
