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

purposeTo detect the structural plasticity of the contralesional hippocampus and amygdala in patients with unilateral IDH-mutant astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma, and to compare the differences between these two types of tumors.

methods3D T1-weighted MRI images were collected from 46 patients with left-hemispheric tumors (IDH-mutant astrocytoma, n = 22; oligodendroglioma, n = 24) and 23 healthy controls (HCs). Volumetric differences in the subregional volumes of the hippocampus and amygdala were assessed using FreeSurfer software. The differences were compared across groups.

resultsIn comparison to HCs, patients with unilateral IDH-mutant astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma exhibited a significantly larger volume of the hippocampal fissure in the contralesional hippocampus (p = 0.021, p = 0.041). In the astrocytoma group, volumetric increases were also observed in the contralesional amygdala subregions, including the medial-nucleus (p = 0.009), central-nucleus (p = 0.011), and cortical-nucleus (p = 0.039). Compared to the oligodendroglioma group, the astrocytoma group demonstrated significantly larger gray matter volume in the subiculum head (p = 0.008) of the contralesional hippocampus, as well as in the anterior amygdaloid area (AAA) (p = 0.044), central-nucleus (p = 0.025), and cortical-nucleus (p = 0.021) of the contralesional amygdala.

conclusionThese findings provide robust evidence of macrostructural plasticity in the contralateral hippocampus and amygdala in patients with unilateral IDH-mutant astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. Furthermore, the structural differences between tumor types may reflect distinct effects on brain plasticity and variations in tumor invasiveness. These insights could contribute to optimization of clinical management strategies and personalized cognitive rehabilitation strategies for glioma patients.
