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

backgroundNoninvasive preoperative prediction of histological grading is essential for clinical management of cerebral glioma. PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the association between the image quality assessment of 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy and accurate grading of glioma. MATERIALS AND

methods98 glioma patients confirmed by pathology were retrospectively recruited in this single-center study. All patients underwent 1H-MRS examination at 3.0T before surgery. According to WHO standards, all cases were divided into two groups: low-grade glioma (grade I and II, 48 cases) and high-grade glioma (grades III and IV, 50 cases). The metabolite ratios in both grades were calculated before and after image quality assessment. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the capacity of each ratio in glioma grading.

resultsThe Cho/Cr, Cho/NAA and NAA/Cr metabolite ratios had certain differences in each glioma group before and after MRS image quality assessment. In the low-grade glioma group, there was a dramatic difference in the Cho/Cr ratio before and after image quality assessment (

conclusionThe image quality of MRS does affect the metabolite ratios and the results of glioma grading. MRS image quality assessment can observably improve the accuracy rate of glioma grading. The Cho/Cr ratio has the best diagnostic performance in differentiating high-grade from low-grade glioma.
