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

purposeTexture analysis can quantify sophisticated imaging characteristics. We hypothesized that 2D textures computed with T2-weighted and post-contrast T1-weighted MRI can predict succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) mutation status in head and neck paragangliomas.

methodsOur retrospective study included 21 patients (1 to 4 tumors/patient) with 24 pathologically proven paragangliomas in the head and neck. Fourteen lesions (58%) were SDH mutation-positive. All patients underwent T2-weighted and post-contrast T1-weighted MRI sequences. Three 2D texture features of dependence non-uniformity normalized (DNN), small dependence high gray level emphasis (SDHGLE), and small dependence low gray level emphasis (SDLGLE) were calculated. Computed textures between SDH mutants and non-mutants were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve was used to quantify the predictive power of each texture.

resultsOnly T2-based SDLGLE was statistically significant (p = 0.048), and AUROC was 0.71. Diagnostic accuracy was 70.8%.

conclusion2D texture parameter of T2-based SDLGLE predicts SDH mutation in head and neck paragangliomas. This noninvasive technique can potentially facilitate further genetic workup.
