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

objectivesDiffuse midline gliomas, H3K27-altered (DMG-A), are malignant gliomas with an unfavorable prognosis. Knowledge of dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI findings and imaging differences with high-grade midline glioma without H3K27 alteration (DMG-W) has been limited. We compared the DSC, ADC, and conventional MRI findings between DMG-A and DMG-W.

methodsIn this single institutional retrospective study, the electronic database of our hospital between June 2015 and May 2021 was searched. Twenty and 17 patients with DMG-A (median, 13 years; range, 3-52 years; 11 females) and DMG-W (median, 40 years; 7-73 years; 9 females), respectively, were found. Normalized relative cerebral blood flow (nrCBF) and normalized corrected relative cerebral blood volume (ncrCBV); normalized maximum, mean, and minimum ADC values; and the prevalence of T2-FLAIR mismatch sign were compared between the two groups using Mann-Whitney U tests and Fisher's exact test.

resultsThe nrCBF and ncrCBV were significantly lower in DMG-A compared with DMG-W (nrCBF: median 0.88 [range, 0.19-2.67] vs. 1.47 [range, 0.57-4.90] (p < 0.001); ncrCBV: 1.17 [0.20-2.67] vs. 1.56 [0.60-4.03] (p = 0.008)). Normalized maximum ADC (nADC

conclusionDSC-MRI parameters, ADC values, and the T2-FLAIR mismatch sign are useful to differentiate between DMG-A and DMG-W. KEY POINTS: • Diffuse midline glioma, H3K27-altered (DMG-A), showed a significantly lower normalized relative cerebral blood flow and volume compared with H3K27-wild-type counterparts (DMG-W). • T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch sign was significantly more frequent in DMG-A compared to DMG-W. • Indicators that combined DSC parameters, ADC values, and T2-FLAIR mismatch sign, with or without age, are useful to distinguish the two tumors.
