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

Dynamic susceptibility contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DSC MRI) is widely used for studying blood perfusion in brain tumors. While the time-dependent change of MRI signals related to the concentration of the tracer is used to derive the hemodynamic parameters such as regional blood volume and flow into tumors, the tissue-specific information associated with variations in profiles of signal time course is often overlooked. We report a new approach of combining model free independent component analysis (ICA) identification of specific signal profiles of DSC MRI time course data and extraction of the features from those time course profiles to interrogate time course data followed by calculating the region specific blood volume based on selected individual time courses. Based on the retrospective analysis of DSC MRI data from 38 patients with pathology confirmed low (n = 18) and high (n = 20) grade gliomas, the results reveal the spatially defined intra-tumoral hemodynamic heterogeneity of brain tumors based on features of time course profiles. The hemodynamic heterogeneity as measured by the number of independent components of time course data is associated with the tumor grade. Using 8 selected signal profile features, machine-learning trained algorithm, e.g., logistic regression, was able to differentiate pathology confirmed low intra-tumoral and high grade gliomas with an accuracy of 86.7%. Furthermore, the new method can potentially extract more tumor physiological information from DSC MRI comparing to the traditional model-based analysis and morphological analysis of tumor heterogeneity, thus may improve the characterizations of gliomas for better diagnosis and treatment decisions.
