Choroid plexus tumours on MRI: similarities and distinctions in different grades.

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
backgroundThe therapeutic planning varies for different grades of choroid plexus tumours (CPTs). The aim of this study was to define the similarities and distinctions among MRIs for different grades of CPTs, providing more guidance for clinical decisions.
methodsWe reviewed the MRI findings in 35 patients with CPT verified by surgical pathology, including 18 choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs, grade I), 11 atypical choroid plexus papillomas (aCPPs, grade II), and 6 choroid plexus carcinomas (CPCs, grade III). Nonparametric testing based on ranks was performed to evaluate the association of pathological grade with MRI findings.
resultsAmong the 35 CPTs, 29 were located in the ventricular system. The tumours were generally slightly hypo- or isointense on T1WI, slightly hyper- or isointense on T2WI, and moderately or strongly enhanced in post-contrast imaging. Twenty cases were accompanied by hydrocephalus. The median tumour longest diameters of CPPs, aCPPs, and CPCs were 28.6, 44.6, and 60.6 mm, respectively. Four cases were purely cystic, 6 were papillary, 10 were lobulated, and 2 were irregular. Three cases had necrosis. The median oedema diameters of CPPs, aCPPs, and CPCs were 0, 0, and 24.1 mm, respectively. The grades of CPTs were statistically associated with tumour longest diameter (r
conclusionCPTs typically appeared as intraventricular papillary or lobulated lesions, often accompanied by hydrocephalus. Larger tumour, irregular or fuzzy internal morphology, presentation of necrosis and wide-ranging peritumoural oedema might increase the likelihood of malignancy.
