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

Purpose: Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can for glioma assessment be supplemented by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with radiolabeled amino acids such as O-(2-[ Methods: The MR-AC maps were assessed for all 194 included post-surgery glioma patients (318 studies). The subgroup of 147 patients (222 studies, 200 MBq [ Results: Ninety-seven percent of the studies (310/318) did not have any major artifacts using DeepDixon, which resulted in a Dice coefficient of 0.89/0.83 for tissue/bone, respectively, compared to 0.84/0.57 when using atlas. The average difference between DeepDixon and CT-AC was within 0.2% across all clinical metrics, and no statistically significant difference was found. When using DeepDixon, only 3 out of 222 studies (1%) exceeded our acceptance criteria compared to 72 of the 222 studies (32%) with the atlas method. Conclusion: We evaluated the performance of a state-of-the-art MR-AC method on the largest post-surgical glioma patient cohort to date. We found that DeepDixon could overcome most of the issues arising from irregular anatomy and metal artifacts present in the cohort resulting in clinical metrics within acceptable limits of the reference CT-AC in almost all cases. This is a significant improvement over the vendor-provided atlas method and of particular importance in response assessment.
