Current State of Functional MRI in the Presurgical Planning of Brain Tumors.
Review in Radiology. Imaging cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Surgical resection of brain tumors is challenging because of the delicate balance between maximizing tumor removal and preserving vital brain functions. Functional MRI (fMRI) offers noninvasive preoperative mapping of widely distributed brain areas and is increasingly used in presurgical functional mapping. However, its impact on survival and functional outcomes is still not well-supported by evidence. Task-based fMRI (tb-fMRI) maps blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal changes during specific tasks, while resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) examines spontaneous brain activity. rs-fMRI may be useful for patients who cannot perform tasks, but its reliability is affected by tumor-induced changes, challenges in data processing, and noise. Validation studies comparing fMRI with direct cortical stimulation (DCS) show variable concordance, particularly for cognitive functions such as language; however, concordance for tb-fMRI is generally greater than that for rs-fMRI. Preoperative fMRI, in combination with MRI tractography and intraoperative DCS, may result in improved survival and extent of resection and reduced functional deficits. fMRI has the potential to guide surgical planning and help identify targets for intraoperative mapping, but there is currently limited prospective evidence of its impact on patient outcomes. This review describes the current state of fMRI for preoperative assessment in patients undergoing brain tumor resection.
