Application of Delta T1 maps for quantitative and objective assessment of extent of resection and survival prediction in glioblastoma.
Article in Neurosurgery practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background and Objectives: Gross-total resection (GTR) and low residual tumor volume (RTV) have been associated with increased survival in glioblastoma. Largely due to the subjectivity involved, the determination of GTR and RTV remains difficult in the postoperative setting. In response, the objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of an easy-to-use MRI metric, called delta T1 (dT1), to quantify extent of resection (EOR) and RTV, in comparison to radiologist impression, to predict overall survival (OS) in glioblastoma patients. Methods: 59 patients who underwent resection of glioblastoma were retrospectively identified. Delta T1 (dT1) images, automatically created from the difference between calibrated post- and pre-contrast T1-weighted images, were used to quantify EOR and RTV. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were determined for EOR categories, an RTV cutoff of 5cm Results: Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in median OS for a dT1-determined RTV cutoff of 5 cm Conclusion: The utility of dT1 maps to quantify EOR and RTV in glioblastoma and predict survival, suggests an emerging role for dT1s with relevance for intraoperative MRI, neuro-navigation and postoperative disease surveillance.
