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

Effective prediction of molecular features is crucial for the prognostic assessment of glioma patients. This study aims to develop a nomogram model using fractal analysis and Visually AcceSAble Rembrandt Images (VASARI) features to predict the molecular characteristics of WHO Grade 3-4 diffuse gliomas. Retrospective analysis of clinical data and VASARI features of patients with WHO grade 3-4 diffuse gliomas confirmed by pathology between January 2020 and December 2023 at our institution. Preoperative T1-weighted contrast-enhanced and T2-weighted images were used to delineate the tumor and surrounding edema regions on 3D-Slicer. Fractal dimension (FD) and lacunarity of both the tumor and surrounding edema were extracted using ImageJ software. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictive factors for the Ki_67 proliferation index (PI), p53, and telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter (TERTp) mutations. Based on these findings, a nomogram prediction model was constructed. Model performance was comprehensively assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration curve (CRC), and decision curve analysis (DCA). Sex, Proportion Enhancing, and Pial invasion were identified as independent predictive factors for the Ki_67 PI. FD of the tumor (FD
