Congress of neurological surgeons systematic review and evidence-based guidelines for the role of imaging in newly diagnosed WHO grade II diffuse glioma in adults: update.

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
target populationAdult patients with suspected or histologically proven WHO Grade II diffuse glioma. QUESTION 1: In adult patients with suspected or histologically proven WHO Grade II diffuse glioma, do advanced MRI techniques using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, perfusion weighted imaging or diffusion weighted imaging provide superior assessment of tumor grade, margins, progression, treatment-related effects, and prognosis compared to standard neuroimaging? RECOMMENDATION: Level II: The use of diffusion imaging and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC), dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) and arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequences are suggested to differentiate WHO Grade II diffuse glioma from higher grade gliomas when this is not accomplished by T2 weighted and pre- and post-gadolinium contrast enhanced T1 weighted imaging. LEVEL III: The use of diffusion and perfusion is suggested for obtaining information in genomics, prognosis, and post treatment monitoring when this information would be of value to the clinician and is not obtained through other methods. LEVEL III: The use of MR Spectroscopy is suggested to differentiate WHO Grade II diffuse glioma from higher grade gliomas when this is not accomplished by standard MRI, perfusion and diffusion techniques and when such information would be of value to the clinician. QUESTION 2: In adult patients with suspected or histologically proven WHO Grade II diffuse glioma, does molecular imaging using amino acid PET tracers provide superior assessment of tumor grade, margins, progression, treatment-related effects, and prognosis compared to standard neuroimaging? RECOMMENDATION: Level III: If not already evident by MRI studies, the addition of amino acid PET with FET and FDOPA as a tracer is suggested to help determine if a brain lesion is a low grade glioma or high grade glioma. LEVEL III: If the standard clinical prognostic parameters are unclear and novel PET tracers are available, the clinician may consider FET to assist in determination of prognosis in an individual with grade II diffuse glioma. LEVEL III: Clinicians may use FDOPA PET in addition to MRI if additional information is required for detection of tumor progression.
