Microstructural changes of white matter fiber tracts induced by insular glioma revealed by tract-based spatial statistics and automatic fiber quantification.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Gliomas typically grow along white matter fiber tracts, yet their invasion patterns remain unclear. This study assessed the effect of insular glioma on large white matter fiber tracts and the microstructural subcortical changes associated with clinical outcomes in patients with insular glioma. Twenty-five patients with insular glioma were enrolled and divided into left and right groups according to tumor lateralization. The control group comprised 14 healthy volunteers. Subjects in both the glioma and control groups underwent diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging at 3.0 T. The characteristics of white matter fiber bundles were analyzed using tract-based spatial statistics and automatic fiber quantification. Both Automatic Fiber Quantification and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics revealed that patients with insular glioma had significantly lower fractional anisotropy (FA) values in the inferior frontal-occipital fasciculus and uncinate fasciculus ipsilateral to the tumor, than the controls. Fractional anisotropy associated with mean diffusivity values several large fiber tracts showed potential on tumor-grade distinguishing. Diffusion metrics can sensitively detect microstructural changes in tumor progression. Insular glioma significantly affects the microstructure of white matter fibers proximal to the tumor. The range of white matter fiber bundles affected differs according to the grade of the glioma. These changes are mainly associated with early-stage tumor invasion.
