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

Purpose: We aimed to explore the prognostic significance of collagen content in solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the central nervous system (CNS) and preliminarily investigate its relationship with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of SFTs. Methods: Collagen content was identified using Masson's trichrome staining, and quantitatively assessed. Radiomic methods were applied to extract quantitative MRI features of SFTs, which were then analyzed in relation to collagen content. Results: The collagen content in CNS SFTs was categorized into high- and low-content groups, with a cutoff value of 6%. Survival analysis indicated a positive correlation between collagen content and overall survival (OS). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, incorporating factors such as mitosis, necrosis, Ki67, and collagen content and other indicators, collagen content emerged as an independent prognostic factor. Collagen content demonstrated a negative correlation with tumor histological phenotype, Ki67, WHO grade, mitosis, necrosis, and brain invasion. Additionally, the signal intensity of SFTs on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) decreased with increasing collagen content. Radiomics analysis identified 1,702 features from each patient's region of interest, with 12 features showing significant differences between the high and low collagen content groups. Among the quantitative parameters and radiomic models, the combined T1- and T2WI models exhibited the highest diagnostic performance. Conclusion: These findings suggest that collagen content is an independent prognostic risk factor for OS. Furthermore, combined radiomic models based on T1-and T2WI sequences may offer a more comprehensive, objective, and accurate assessment of collagen content in CNS SFTs.
