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

purposeTo investigate whether whole-tumor histogram analyses of diffusivity measurements derived from q-space imaging (QSI) improves the differentiation between meningioma and schwannoma. MATERIALS AND

methodsFifteen extra-axial tumors (11 meningiomas and 4 schwannomas) with MR examinations from April 2011 to May 2013 were included. Three-dimensional regions of interest (ROI) encompassed the whole tumor, including cystic areas. Histogram analyses of mean displacement (MD) derived from QSI and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for the ROI were performed at mean, the five percentiles of MD

resultsHistogram analyses revealed significant differences between meningioma and schwannoma in MD

conclusionThe histogram analyses of MD and ADC derived from QSI were both equally useful in differentiating between intracranial meningioma and schwannoma.
