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

BackgroundMeningiomas are the most common extra-axial tumors of the central nervous system, and accurate preoperative assessment of their histological grade is essential for effective treatment planning.PurposeTo investigate the relationship between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) sequence, histopathological grade, and Ki-67 proliferation index for radiologically identifying meningiomas with poor prognosis.Material and MethodsThe study included 90 patients with histopathologically confirmed meningioma between March 2019 and February 2021. The Ki-67 proliferation index was assessed using an image analysis program. Retrospectively, ADC maps and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were reviewed. An oval-shaped region of interest was placed over the lesion's solid component and the normal-appearing white matter in the opposite hemisphere. Each patient's ADC ratio (ADC meningioma/ADC normal-appearing white matter) was calculated. The relationship between ADC and Ki-67 proliferation index was investigated, and ADC values of benign and atypical meningiomas were compared. Independent sample
