Pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling reflects vascular density and differentiates angiomatous meningiomas from non-angiomatous meningiomas.

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
Pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (PCASL) can measure tumor blood flow (TBF) reliably. We investigated meningioma TBF using PCASL and assessed for any correlation with histopathological microvascular density (MVD) and the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Conventional MRI with contrast T1-weighted images and PCASL were acquired with a 3 T scanner before surgery in 25 consecutive patients with meningiomas. Using the PCASL perfusion map, the mean and maximum TBF were calculated from regions of interest placed in the largest cross-sectional plane of each tumor. Tissue sections from 16 patients were stained with CD31 to evaluate MVD and were assigned a WHO classification. The TBFs were statistically compared with MVD and the histopathological meningioma subtypes. There were 16 meningothelial meningiomas, four angiomatous meningiomas, two fibrous meningiomas, one transitional meningioma, and two atypical meningiomas. We observed significant correlation between MVD and both mean and maximum TBF (p < 0.05). The mean and maximum TBF ((mean)TBF, (max)TBF) in angiomatous meningiomas are significantly higher than that in non-angiomatous meningiomas (p < 0.05). PCASL is useful in assessing meningioma vascularity, and in differentiating angiomatous meningiomas from non-angiomatous meningiomas.
