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

purposeThe aim of this study was to verify whether the functional reorganization of motor cortex is associated with the increase in the size of WHO type IV glioma lesion, that is, disease duration and development, and whether surgical treatment has an impact on cerebral plasticity.

methodsThe study included 16 patients with primary tumors of the brain located at the region of central sulcus. The clinical status of patients and tumor volume was determined. Functional magnetic resonance imaging examinations were performed before and 3 months after operation.

resultsThe activity of all cortical centers, both contralateral and ipsilateral, was observed in a group of small as well as large tumors. The intensity of activation and the number of activated clusters of small tumors were almost always higher as compared with the large tumors. The frequency of the activity of contralateral areas was similar during the first and the second examination. In the case of ipsilateral centers, the frequency of activation during the second examination was lower. Mean values of t-statistics during the first examination were higher than during the second examination. Supplementary motor area (SMAa) was the only center for which the mean values of activation intensity remained similar.

conclusionsSMAa seems to play the most important role in the processes of motor cortex plasticity in high-grade glioma patients. Surgery seems not having a significant influence on the pattern of functional reorganization of the cortical centers for movement. Identification of the individual patterns of the reorganization of motor centers plays an important role in clinical practice.
