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

Objective: Spinal meningiomas (SM) account for 25%-46% of all primary spinal tumors and show an excellent long-term disease control in case of complete resection. Therefore, the postoperative functional outcome is of high importance. To date, reports on dorsally located SM are scarce. Moreover, the impact of radiomics shape features on the functional outcome after surgery for primary dorsal SMs has not been analyzed yet. Methods: We retrospectively performed an analysis of shape-based radiomic features in 3D slicer software and quantified the tumor volume, surface area, sphericity, surface area to volume ratio and tumor canal ratio. Subsequently, we evaluated the correlation between the radinomic parameters and the postoperative outcome according to Modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) score. Results: Between 2010 and 2022, we identified 24 Females and 2 Males operated on dorsal SMs in our institutional database. The most common SM localization was thoracic spine ( Conclusion: In our study investigating primary sporadic dorsal SMs, we demonstrated that a higher degree of sphericity may be a positive predictor of postoperative improvement, as indicated by the mJOA score.
