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

purposePathogenesis of peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) in meningiomas remains unclear. Associations between PTBE volume and diffusion or perfusion properties of meningioma have not been studied. We aimed to investigate if diffusion and perfusion properties of meningioma correlate with its PTBE volume.

methodsSeventy consecutive patients (mean age, 58.9 ± 13.7 years; 37 women) with meningiomas who had preoperative DTI and DSC-PWI were retrospectively analyzed. PTBE volume, tumor volume, and mean T2 signal, ADC, FA, and CBV of the tumor were measured. Between meningiomas with and without PTBE, patient age and sex, as well as T2 signal intensity, volume, ADC, FA, and CBV of tumors, were compared. In meningiomas with PTBE, correlations of PTBE volume with patient age and sex, as well as T2 signal intensity, volume, ADC, FA, and CBV of tumors, were analyzed. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with PTBE volume.

resultsOn univariable analysis, meningiomas without PTBE were more frequently found in women (P = 0.033) and demonstrated lower ADC (P = 0.020), higher FA (P < 0.001), and lower CBV (P < 0.001). PTBE volume of meningiomas correlated with tumor ADC (r = 0.444; P = 0.001), tumor FA (r = - 0.655; P < 0.001), and tumor CBV (r = 0.402; P = 0.003). On multivariable analysis, tumor FA was the only factor associated with PTBE volume (P < 0.001).

conclusionPTBE volume in meningioma correlates with tumor FA. DTI may help to understand the mechanism of PTBE in meningiomas.
