Noninvasive Differentiation of Meningiomas and Dural Metastases Using Intratumoral Vascularity Obtained by Arterial Spin Labeling.
Article in Clinical neuroradiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposeUsing conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, the imaging features of meningiomas and dural metastases overlap and a differentiation between these tumor entities therefore remains difficult, particularly in patients with a known primary neoplasm. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential role of normalized vascular intratumoral signal intensity values (nVITS) obtained from pulsed arterial spin labeling (PASL) to differentiate between meningiomas and dural metastases.
methodsIn this study PASL was performed in 46 patients with meningiomas (n = 30) and dural metastases (n = 16) on a 3T scanner, in addition to the routine diagnostic imaging protocol. The ratio between the vascular signal intensity of the tumor and the contralateral normal white matter obtained by PASL images was defined as nVITS.
resultsMeningiomas showed significantly higher nVITS values compared to dural metastases (p < 0.001). The optimal nVITS cut-off value to differentiate between the 2 tumor entities was 1.989, with 100% sensitivity and 81.2% specificity.
conclusionThe nVITS values obtained by PASL provide a fast and noninvasive MRI technique with which to differentiate between meningiomas and dural metastases in a routine clinical setting based on tumor vascularity.
