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

objectiveTo investigate the response in R2* relaxation rate of human intracranial tumours during hyperoxic and hypercapnic respiratory challenges.

methodsIn seven patients with different intracranial tumours, cerebral R2* changes during carbogen and CO(2)/air inhalation were monitored at 3 T using a dynamic multigradient-echo sequence of high temporal and spatial resolution. The R2* time series of each voxel was tested for significant change. Regions of interest were analysed with respect to response amplitude and velocity.

resultsThe tumours showed heterogeneous R2* responses with large interindividual variability. In the 'contrast-enhancing' area of five patients and in the 'non-tumoral' tissue most voxels showed a decrease in R2* for carbogen. For the 'contrast-enhancing' area of two patients hardly any responses were found. In areas of 'necrosis' and perifocal 'oedema' typically voxels with R2* increase and no response were found for both gases. For tissue responding to CO(2)/air, the R2* changes were of the same order of magnitude as those for carbogen. The response kinetic was generally attenuated in tumoral tissue.

conclusionThe spatially resolved determination of R2* changes reveals the individual heterogeneous response characteristic of intracranial human tumours during hyperoxic and hypercapnic respiratory challenges.
