Magnetic resonance radiomics-derived sphericity correlates with seizure in brain arteriovenous malformations.
Article in European radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesAngioarchitectural analysis of brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs) is qualitative and subject to interpretation. This study quantified the morphology of and signal changes in the nidal and perinidal areas by using MR radiomics and compared the performance of MR radiomics and angioarchitectural analysis in detecting epileptic BAVMs. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom 2010 to 2020, a total of 111 patients with supratentorial BAVMs were retrospectively included and grouped in accordance with the initial presentation of seizure. Patients' angiograms and MR imaging results were analyzed to determine the corresponding angioarchitecture. The BAVM nidus was contoured on time-of-flight MR angiography images. The perinidal brain parenchyma was contoured on T2-weighted images, followed by radiomic analysis. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent risk factors for seizure. ROC curve analysis, decision curve analysis (DCA), and calibration curve were performed to compare the performance of angioarchitecture-based and radiomics-based models in diagnosing epileptic BAVMs.
resultsIn multivariate analyses, low sphericity (OR: 2012.07, p = .04) and angiogenesis (OR: 5.30, p = .01) were independently associated with a high risk of seizure after adjustment for age, sex, temporal location, and nidal volume. The AUC for the angioarchitecture-based, MR radiomics-based, and combined models was 0.672, 0.817, and 0.794, respectively. DCA confirmed the clinical utility of the MR radiomics-based and combined models.
conclusionsLow nidal sphericity and angiogenesis were associated with high seizure risk in patients with BAVMs. MR radiomics-derived tools may be used for noninvasive and objective measurement for evaluating the risk of seizure due to BAVM. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Low nidal sphericity was associated with high seizure risk in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation and MR radiomics may be used as a noninvasive and objective measurement method for evaluating seizure risk in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation. KEY POINTS: • Low nidal sphericity was associated with high seizure risk in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation. • The performance of MR radiomics in detecting epileptic brain arteriovenous malformations was more satisfactory than that of angioarchitectural analysis. • MR radiomics may be used as a noninvasive and objective measurement method for evaluating seizure risk in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation.
