The Assessment of White Matter Integrity Alteration Pattern in Patients with Brain Tumor Utilizing Diffusion Tensor Imaging: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Alteration in the surrounding brain tissue may occur in the presence of a brain tumor. The present study aims to assess the characteristics and criteria of the pattern of white matter tract microstructure integrity alteration in brain tumor patients. The Scopus, PubMed/Medline, and Web of Science electronic databases were searched for related articles based on the guidelines established by PRISMA. Twenty-five studies were selected on the morphological changes of white matter tract integrity based on the differential classification of white matter tract (WMT) patterns in brain tumor patients through diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The characterization was based on two criteria: the visualization of the tract-its orientation and position-and the DTI parameters, which were the fractional anisotropy and apparent diffusion coefficient. Individual evaluations revealed no absolute, mutually exclusive type of tumor in relation to morphological WMT microstructure integrity changes. In most cases, different types and grades of tumors have shown displacement or infiltration. Characterizing morphological changes in the integrity of the white matter tract microstructures is vital in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of the tumor's progression and could be a potential assessment for the early detection of possible neurological defects that may affect the patient, as well as aiding in surgery decision-making.
