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

Background: Preoperative differentiation between angiomatous meningioma (AM) and atypical meningioma (ATM) is related to treatment planning. In this study, we explored the utility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis in differentiating AM and ATM, and further assess the correlations between these parameters and the Ki-67 proliferation index. Methods: Thirty AM and 35 ATM patients were enrolled and their clinical and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features were analyzed in this study. Nine ADC histogram parameters [mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis, as well as the 1st (ADC1), 10th (ADC10), 50th (ADC50), 90th (ADC90), and 99th (ADC99) percentile of ADC] were selected and compared by independent Results: AM group showed a significantly higher mean [median (interquartile range): 124.07 (22.66) Conclusions: AM and ATM exhibit overlapping conventional MRI features. ADC histogram analysis, especially ADC1, maybe a reliable quantitative imaging biomarker for differentiation between AM and ATM.
