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 purposeIn the 2016 revision of the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumours, brain invasion was added as an independent histological criterion for the diagnosis of a World Health Organization grade II atypical meningioma. The aim of this study was to assess whether magnetic resonance imaging characteristics can predict brain invasion for meningiomas. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of all meningiomas resected at our institution between 2005 and 2016 which had preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and included brain tissue within the pathology specimen. One hundred meningiomas were included in the study, 60 of which had histopathological brain invasion, 40 of which did not. Magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of tumours were evaluated for potential predictors of brain invasion. Tumour location, size, perilesional oedema, contour, cerebrospinal fluid cleft, peritumoral cyst, dural venous sinus invasion, bone invasion, hyperostosis and the presence of enlarged pial arteries and veins were evaluated. Data were analysed using conventional chi-square, Fisher's exact test and logistic regression.

resultsThe volume of peritumoral oedema was significantly higher in the brain-invasive meningioma group compared to the non-brain-invasive group. The presence of a complete cleft was a rare finding that was only found in non-brain-invasive meningiomas. The presence of enlarged pial feeding arteries was a rare finding that was only found in brain-invasive meningiomas.

conclusionsAn increased volume of perilesional oedema is associated with the likelihood of brain invasion for meningiomas.
