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

backgroundIntracranial solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) and meningiomas are meningeal tumors with different malignancy levels and prognoses. Their similar imaging features make preoperative differentiation difficult, resulting in high misdiagnosis rates. Thus, accurately distinguishing SFTs from meningiomas preoperatively is vital for surgical planning and treatment strategies. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 252 patients (56 SFTs and 196 meningiomas) data from January 2014 to May 2024 were used to train our models . A VB-Net deep learning network was employed to refine automatic segmentation. To identify SFTs and meningiomas, the segmented data were analyzed using machine learning to construct single-sequence and multi-sequence MRI models and combined with clinical/radiological features to develop a fusion index-related model.To enhance clinical applicability, we constructed a four-category model using the predictive probabilities from secondary classification as input features.

resultsThe VB-Net segmentation model performed well in both the tumor cores and the whole tumor, with DSCs of 0.87 (±0.17) and 0.79 (±0.26), respectively. The integration of clinical and radiological data enhanced the model's AUC to 0.957. Stratified analysis showed that the weighted AUC value reached 0.846 in the validation set.

conclusionThe comprehensive system integrating automatic segmentation with diagnostic models can differentiate SFTs from meningiomas precisely.
