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

background and purposeThe cortical high-flow sign has been more commonly reported in oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted (ODG IDHm-codel) compared to diffuse glioma with IDH-wildtype or astrocytoma, IDH-mutant. Besides tumor types, higher grades of glioma might also contribute to the cortical high flow. Therefore, we investigated whether the histological cortical vascular density or CNS WHO grade was associated with the cortical high-flow sign in patients with ODG IDHm-codel. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study consisted of pathologically confirmed 25 adult patients with ODG IDHm-codel. We implemented pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling technique with background suppression. Subtraction images were generated from paired control and label images. Tumor-affecting cortices without intense contrast enhancement on conventional MR imaging were targeted for the determination of the cortical high-flow sign. Immunohistochemical staining of CD31 antibody was performed for the identification of vascular endothelial cells. A microscopic field of the most intense vascularization was captured in each specimen. The vessel number and the relative vascular density (%Vessel) were compared between the positive cortical high-flow sign (CHFS

resultsThe vessel number and %Vessel were higher in patients with the CHFS

conclusionThe cortical high-flow sign on ASL, which is more commonly found in ODG IDHm-codel than in diffuse glioma with IDH-wildtype or astrocytoma, is associated with the histological cortical vascular density in patients with ODG IDHm-codel.
