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

backgroundMRI group analysis is a powerful tool for elucidating pathological conditions in the brain that are challenging to reveal from single subject analysis. This research aimed to elucidate special distribution characteristics of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) within the brain with respect to molecular marker expression patterns.

methodsMR images from 100 treatment-naive PCNSL patients were collected and registered onto averaged standard anatomical MRI (MNI152). Gadolinium-enhanced lesions were extracted, and a lesion frequency map was created. Lymphoma subtypes were classified as germinal center B (GCB) or non-GCB by immunohistochemistry in 90 patients.

resultsA PCNSL frequency map showed that these tumors tended to occur around the lateral, third and fourth ventricles. Moreover, GCB (27 cases) and non-GCB (63 cases) PCNSL frequency maps showed GCB lymphomas located at the upper tegmentum and cerebellum around the fourth ventricle, while non-GCB lymphomas tended to occupy the anterior fornix. These differences were significant and confirmed by the existence of voxels with P values <.05 (random permutation analysis with voxel-wise Fisher' exact test). This is the very first report to address phenotypical and spatial distributional differences between GCB and non-GCB PCNSL using an MR group analytical method.
