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

background and purposeThe percentage signal recovery in non-leakage-corrected (no preload, high flip angle, intermediate TE) DSC-MR imaging is known to differ significantly for glioblastoma, metastasis, and primary CNS lymphoma. Because the percentage signal recovery is influenced by preload and pulse sequence parameters, we investigated whether the percentage signal recovery can still differentiate these common contrast-enhancing neoplasms using a DSC-MR imaging protocol designed for relative CBV accuracy (preload, intermediate flip angle, low TE). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed DSC-MR imaging of treatment-naïve, pathology-proved glioblastomas (

resultsRelative CBV best differentiated meningioma from glioblastoma and from metastasis with areas under the curve of 0.84 and 0.82, respectively. The percentage signal recovery best differentiated primary central nervous system lymphoma from metastasis with an area under the curve of 0.81. Relative CBV and percentage signal recovery were similar in differentiating primary central nervous system lymphoma from glioblastoma and from meningioma. Although neither relative CBV nor percentage signal recovery differentiated glioblastoma from metastasis, mean normalized baseline signal intensity achieved 86% sensitivity and 50% specificity.

conclusionsSimilar to results for non-preload-based DSC-MR imaging, percentage signal recovery for one-quarter-dose preload-based, intermediate flip angle DSC-MR imaging differentiates most pair-wise comparisons of glioblastoma, metastasis, primary central nervous system lymphoma, and meningioma, except for glioblastoma versus metastasis. Differences in normalized post-preload baseline signal for glioblastoma and metastasis, reflecting a snapshot of dynamic contrast enhancement, may motivate the use of single-dose multiecho protocols permitting simultaneous quantification of DSC-MR imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters.
