Quantification of Tissue Compression Identifies High-Grade Glioma Patients with Reduced Survival.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The compression of peritumoral healthy tissue in brain tumor patients is considered a major cause of the life-threatening neurologic symptoms. Although significant deformations caused by the tumor growth can be observed radiologically, the quantification of minor tissue deformations have not been widely investigated. In this study, we propose a method to quantify subtle peritumoral deformations. A total of 127 MRI longitudinal studies from 23 patients with high-grade glioma were included. We estimate longitudinal displacement fields based on a symmetric normalization algorithm and we propose four biomarkers. We assess the interpatient and intrapatient association between proposed biomarkers and the survival based on Cox analyses, and the potential of the biomarkers to stratify patients according to their survival based on Kaplan−Meier analysis. Biomarkers show a significant intrapatient association with survival (p < 0.05); however, only compression biomarkers show the ability to stratify patients between those with higher and lower overall survival (AUC = 0.83, HR = 6.30, p < 0.05 for CompCH). The compression biomarkers present three times higher Hazard Ratios than those representing only displacement. Our study provides a robust and automated method for quantifying and delineating compression in the peritumoral area. Based on the proposed methodology, we found an association between lower compression in the peritumoral area and good prognosis in high-grade glial tumors.
