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

backgroundGlioblastoma is the most frequent malignant primitive brain tumor in adults. The treatment includes surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. During follow-up, combined chemoradiotherapy can induce treatment-related changes mimicking tumor progression on medical imaging, such as pseudoprogression (PsP). Differentiating PsP from true progression (TP) remains a challenge for radiologists and oncologists, who need to promptly start a second-line treatment in the case of TP. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging, perfusion MRI, and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging are more efficient than conventional MRI in differentiating PsP from TP. None of these techniques are fully effective, but current advances in computer science and the advent of artificial intelligence are opening up new possibilities in the imaging field with radiomics (i.e., extraction of a large number of quantitative MRI features describing tumor density, texture, and geometry). These features are used to build predictive models for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic response.

methodOut of 7350 records for MR spectroscopy, GBM, glioma, recurrence, diffusion, perfusion, pseudoprogression, radiomics, and advanced imaging, we screened 574 papers. A total of 228 were eligible, and we analyzed 72 of them, in order to establish the role of each imaging modality and the usefulness and limitations of radiomics analysis.
