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

objectivesTo explore the value of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characterization of intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (ISFT) and to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative MRI features in predicting pathological grading. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective analysis comprised the clinical and preoperative MRI characterization of 55 patients with ISFT in our hospital, including 27 grade II cases and 28 grade III cases confirmed by postoperative pathology. Variables included age, sex, tumor location, cross-midline status, signal characteristics of T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2-FLAIR), and diffusion‑weighted imaging (DWI), peritumoral edema, intralesional hemorrhage, focal necrosis/cystic degeneration, tumor empty vessel, maximum tumor diameter, maximum, minimum, and average values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC

resultsThe mean age at onset was similar between patients with grades II and III ISFT (46.77 ± 14.66 years and 45.82 ± 12.07 years, respectively). The proportions of men among patients with grades II and III ISFT were slightly higher than those of female patients (male/female: 1.25 [15/12] and 1.33 [16/12], respectively). There were significant differences between grades II and III ISFT in the T2-FLAIR and DWI signal characteristics, maximum, minimum, and average values of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC

conclusionsGrade III ISFT patients displayed more mixed T2-FLAIR signal characteristics and DWI signal characteristics than grade II patients, as shown by higher skull invasion and tumor mass collapse midline distribution and lower ADC
