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 evaluate the diagnostic performance of delayed post-gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DEMRI) in diagnosing Menière’s disease (MD) and to establish an effective MRI-based diagnostic model.

methodsThis retrospective multicenter study assessed DEMRI descriptors in patients presenting with Ménièriform symptoms who were examined consecutively between May 2022 and May 2024. A total of 162 ears (95 with MD, 67 controls) were included. Each ear was randomly assigned to either a training set (n = 98) or a validation set (n = 64). In the training cohort, diagnostic models for MD were developed using logistic regression. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the different models. The Delong test was applied to compare AUC estimates between models.

resultsThe proposed DEMRI diagnostic model demonstrated strong diagnostic performance in both the training cohort (AUC: 0.907) and the validation cohort (AUC: 0.887), outperforming the clinical diagnostic model (

conclusionA diagnostic model based on DEMRI features for MD is more effective than one based solely on clinical variables. DEMRI should, therefore, be recommended when MD is suspected, given its significant diagnostic potential. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This model may improve the accuracy and timeliness of MD diagnosis, as it is less influenced by the attending physician’s level of inquiry or the patient’s self-reporting ability. It may also contribute to more effective disease management in patients with MD.
