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

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of sub-volume segmentation for radiotherapy planning of adult non-enhancing low-grade gliomas (NE-LGGs) guided by three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL). The differences in high- and low-perfusion areas of NE-LGGs were analyzed using multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics. Methods: Fifteen adult patients with NE-LGGs were included in the study. MR images, including T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2 Propeller, T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2 Flair), 3D-ASL, and contrast-enhanced T1WI (CE-T1WI), were obtained. The gross tumor volume (GTV) was delineated according to the hyperintensity on T2 Flair. The GTV was divided into high- and low-perfusion areas, namely GTV-ASL and GTV-SUB, respectively, based on the differences in cerebral blood flow (CBF) value. The volumes and CBF values of high- and low-perfusion areas were measured and compared. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to select the optimal features of all MR maps. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the absolute CBF Results: Among the enrolled patients, three (20%) patients with NE-LGGs showed focal intra- and post-radiotherapy contrast enhancement within a prior high-perfusion area of 3D-ASL. The volume ratio of the GTV-ASL to the GTV was (37.08% ± 17.88)% (46.26 ± 44.51 vs. 167.46 ± 209.64 cm Conclusion: The difference in blood perfusion in the GTV can be quantified and analyzed based on 3D-ASL images for NE-LGGs, which could guide the sub-volume segmentation of the GTV. 3D-ASL should become a routine method for NE-LGGs during simulation and radiotherapy.
