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

The timing of MRI imaging after surgical resection may have an important role in assessing the extent of resection (EoR) and in determining further treatment. The aim of our study was to evaluate the time dependency of T2 and FLAIR changes after surgery for LGG. The Log-Glio database of patients treated at our hospital from 2016 to 2021 was searched for patients >18a and non-enhancing intra-axial lesion with complete MR-imaging protocol. A total of 16 patients matched the inclusion criteria and were thus selected for volumetric analysis. All patients received an intraoperative scan (iMRI) after complete tumor removal, an ultra-early postoperative scan after skin closure, an early MRI within 48 h and a late follow up MRI after 3-4 mo. Detailed volumetric analysis of FLAIR and T2 abnormalities was conducted. Demographic data and basic characteristics were also analyzed. An ultra-early postoperative MRI was performed within a median time of 30 min after skin closure and showed significantly lower FLAIR (
