Sensitivity of three-dimensional time-of-flight 3.0 T magnetic resonance angiography in visualizing the number and course of lenticulostriate arteries in patients with insular gliomas.
Article in Brain & spine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Neurosurgical resection of insular gliomas is complicated by the possibility of iatrogenic injury to the lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs) and is associated with devastating neurological complications, hence the need to accurately assess the number of LSAs and their relationship to the tumor preoperatively. Methods: The study included 24 patients with insular gliomas who underwent preoperative 3D-TOF MRA to visualize LSAs. The agreement of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging with intraoperative data in terms of the number of LSAs and their invasion by the tumor was assessed using the Kendall rank correlation coefficient and Cohen's Kappa with linear weighting. Agreement between experts performing image analysis was estimated using Cohen's Kappa with linear weighting. Results: The number of LSAs arising from the M1 segment varied from 0 to 9 (mean 4.3 ± 0.37) as determined by 3D-TOF MRA and 2-6 (mean 4.25 ± 0.25) as determined intraoperatively, κ = 0.51 (95% CI: 0.25-0.76) and τ = 0.64 (p < 0.001). LSAs were encased by the tumor in 11 patients (confirmed intraoperatively in 9 patients). LSAs were displaced medially in 8 patients (confirmed intraoperatively in 8 patients). The tumor partially involved the LSAs and displaced them in 5 patients (confirmed intraoperatively in 7 patients), κ = 0.87 (95% CI: 0.70-1), τ = 0.93 (p < 0.001). 3D-TOF MRA demonstrated high sensitivity (100%, 95% CI: 0.63-1) and high specificity (86.67%, 95% CI: 0.58-0.98) in determining the LSA-tumor interface. Conclusions: 3D-TOF MRA at 3T demonstrated sensitivity in determining the LSA-tumor interface and the number of LSAs in patients with insular gliomas.
