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

objective: To investigate correlations between MRI perfusion metrics measured by dynamic susceptibility contrast and arterial spin labelling in paediatric brain tumours.

methods: 15 paediatric patients with brain tumours were scanned prospectively using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labelling (ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC-) MRI with a pre-bolus to minimise contrast agent leakage. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) maps were produced using ASL. Cerebral blood volume (CBV) maps with and without contrast agent leakage correction using the Boxerman technique and the leakage parameter, K

results: Histology resulted in the following diagnoses: pilocytic astrocytoma (n = 7), glioblastoma (n = 1), medulloblastoma (n = 1), rosette-forming glioneuronal tumour of fourth ventricle (n = 1), atypical choroid plexus papilloma (n = 1) and pilomyxoid astrocytoma (n = 1). Three patients had a non-invasive diagnosis of low-grade glioma. DSC CBV maps of T

conclusion: CBV values from DSC obtained with and without leakage correction were significantly different. Large increases in CBV were observed following leakage correction in highly T ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE:: We have shown that leakage correction should be applied when investigating enhancing paediatric brain tumours using DSC-MRI. A stronger correlation was found between CBF derived from ASL and CBV derived from DSC when a leakage correction was employed.
