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

Preoperative distinction between transitional meningioma and atypical meningioma would aid the selection of appropriate surgical techniques, as well as the prognosis prediction. Here, we aimed to differentiate between these two tumors using radiomic signatures based on preoperative, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. A total of 141 transitional meningioma and 101 atypical meningioma cases between January 2014 and December 2018 with a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging before surgery. For each patient, 1227 radiomic features were extracted from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted and T2-weighted images each. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis was performed to select the most informative features of different modalities. Subsequently, stepwise multivariate logistic regression was chosen to further select strongly correlated features and build classification models that can distinguish transitional from atypical meningioma. The diagnostic abilities were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic analysis. Furthermore, a nomogram was built by incorporating clinical characteristics, radiological features, and radiomic signatures, and decision curve analysis was used to validate the clinical usefulness of the nomogram. Sex, tumor shape, brain invasion, and four radiomic features differed significantly between transitional meningioma and atypical meningioma. The clinicoradiomic model derived by fusing the above features resulted in the best discrimination ability, with areas under the curves of 0.809 (95% confidence interval, 0.743-0.874) and 0.795 (95% confidence interval, 0.692-0.899) and sensitivity values of 74.0% and 71.4% in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The clinicoradiomic model demonstrated good performance for the differentiation between transitional and atypical meningioma. It is a quantitative tool that can potentially aid the selection of surgical techniques and the prognosis prediction and can thus be applied in patients with these two meningioma subtypes.
