Model-free dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI analysis: differentiation between active tumor and necrotic tissue in patients with glioblastoma.

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
objectiveTreatment response assessment in patients with high-grade gliomas (HGG) is heavily dependent on changes in lesion size on MRI. However, in conventional MRI, treatment-related changes can appear as enhancing tissue, with similar presentation to that of active tumor tissue. We propose a model-free data-driven method for differentiation between these tissues, based on dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included a total of 66 scans of patients with glioblastoma. Of these, 48 were acquired from 1 MRI vendor and 18 scans were acquired from a different MRI vendor and used as test data. Of the 48, 24 scans had biopsy results. Analysis included semi-automatic arterial input function (AIF) extraction, direct DCE pharmacokinetic-like feature extraction, and unsupervised clustering of the two tissue types. Validation was performed via (a) comparison to biopsy result (b) correlation to literature-based DCE curves for each tissue type, and (c) comparison to clinical outcome.
resultsConsistency between the model prediction and biopsy results was found in 20/24 cases. An average correlation of 82% for active tumor and 90% for treatment-related changes was found between the predicted component and population-based templates. An agreement between the predicted results and radiologist's assessment, based on RANO criteria, was found in 11/12 cases.
conclusionThe proposed method could serve as a non-invasive method for differentiation between lesion tissue and treatment-related changes.
