Comparisons of MR Findings Between Supratentorial and Infratentorial Gangliogliomas.

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.
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
purposeGanglioglioma is an uncommon intracranial disorder. The purpose of our study was to describe the different MR characteristics between supratentorial and infratentorial gangliogliomas and to evaluate the diagnostic value of MR imaging for the disorder.
methodsThe MR images of 33 patients with intracranial gangliogliomas from July 2007 to November 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. We evaluated the images in relation to the following variables: location, size, cystic changes, cortical changes, and enhancement pattern.
resultsHistological diagnosis was achieved in all cases by surgery. Tumors were divided into a supratentorial group (n = 24) and an infratentorial group (n = 9) according to their location. In the supratentorial group, tumor dimensions varied from 0.5 to 5 cm (mean dimension, 2.7 cm). Cystic (n = 2), cystic-solid (n = 10), and solid (n = 12) tumors without cortical changes had variable enhancement in this group. In the infratentorial group, tumor dimensions varied from 4 to 7 cm (mean dimension, 5.2 cm). Solid (n = 7) tumors with ipsilateral cerebellar cortical atrophy (n = 7) had remarkable heterogeneous enhancement in this group.
conclusionsMR imaging features of supratentorial gangliogliomas are non-specific. Relatively larger solid masses with remarkable heterogeneous enhancement and ipsilateral cerebellar cortical atrophy in the infratentorial region are suggestive of ganglioglioma. As such, cerebellar cortical atrophy may be a specific finding that is well demonstrated with MR imaging. Although MR findings can provide some evidence for this rare entity, a differential diagnosis is still needed.
