T2-FLAIR mismatch sign: a roadmap of pearls and pitfalls.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
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
T2-FLAIR mismatch sign has been advocated to be 100% specific for IDH-mutant 1p/19q non-codeleted gliomas (diffuse astrocytomas). However, false positives have been reported in recent works. Loose application of the criteria may lead to erroneous classification, especially by non-trained neuroradiologists. In this pictorial essay, we aim to bring attention to the need for strict criteria for the application of T2-FLAIR mismatch sign and to discuss the potential pitfalls in the application of these criteria. For that, a series of adult brain tumour cases are presented to demonstrate how to apply this radiological sign in the clinical practice.
