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

aimThis study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for brain tumors in clinical practice.

methodsThirty patients with brain tumors underwent 7- and 3-T MRI. The performance and diagnostic confidence of 7- and 3-T MRI in the visualization of tumor details such as internal structure and feeding artery were evaluated by radiologists. Contrast-enhanced region performance and tumor detail diagnostic confidence score (DCS) were calculated and compared between 7 and 3T using Wilcoxon rank sum test.

resultsIn 19 with obvious enhancement and 11 cases without obvious enhancement, 7- and 3-T MRI showed similar performance. The tumors' internal structure and feeding artery were more clearly depicted by 7-T MRI (62.2% and 54.4%, respectively) than by 3-T MRI (2.2% and 6.7%, respectively). Furthermore, the mean DCSs of both internal structure and feeding artery were higher at 7T than at 3T (internal structure: 16.29 ± 9.67 vs. -5.79 ± 4.12, p = 0.028; feeding artery: 21.96 ± 6.93 vs. 4.46 ± 7.07, p = 0.028). The DCS was more significantly improved in the senior radiologist group.

conclusionBetter visualization of brain tumor details and higher tumor detail diagnostic confidence can be obtained with 7-T MRI.
