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

Although typically not necessary for the diagnosis of intracranial meningiomas, advanced imaging techniques, including perfusion and diffusion imaging, spectroscopy, and nuclear medicine imaging, can help confirm the diagnosis of intracranial meningiomas, especially for meningiomas that do not exhibit the typical anatomic imaging findings. Advanced imaging techniques also have the potential to be able to differentiate between the subtypes of meningiomas, predict clinical aggressiveness of the tumor, and better characterize response to treatment. Although no advanced imaging technique has been able to definitively subclassify meningiomas, current results are encouraging and may be helpful in surgical planning.
