Conventional and advanced (DTI/SWI) neuroimaging findings in pediatric oligodendroglioma.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purposeOligodendroglioma are rare pediatric brain tumors. The literature about neuroimaging findings is scant. A correct presurgical diagnosis is important to plan the therapeutic approach. Here, we evaluated the conventional and advanced neuroimaging features in our cohort of pediatric oligodendrogliomas and discuss our findings in the context of the current literature.
methodsClinical histories were reviewed for tumor grading, neurologic manifestation, treatment, and clinical status at the last follow-up. Neuroimaging studies were retrospectively evaluated for tumor morphology and characteristics on conventional and advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
resultsFive children with oligodendroglioma were included in this study. Four children were diagnosed with a low-grade oligodendroglioma. The location of the tumors included the frontal and temporal lobe in two cases each and the fronto-parietal lobe in one. In all oligodendrogliomas, tumor margins appeared sharp. In the high-grade oligodendroglioma, a cystic and partially hemorrhagic component was seen. In all children, the tumor showed a T1-hypointense and T2-hyperintense signal. The signal intensity on fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) images was hyperintense in four and mixed hypo-hyperintense in one child. The anaplastic oligodendroglioma showed postcontrast enhancement and decreased diffusion while the low-grade oligodendrogliomas showed increased diffusion. One low-grade oligodendroglioma showed calcifications on susceptibility weighted imaging.
conclusionConventional MRI findings of pediatric oligodendrogliomas are nonspecific. Advanced MRI sequences may differentiate (1) low-grade and high-grade pediatric oligodendrogliomas and (2) pediatric oligodendrogliomas and other brain tumors.
