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

Background: Brain invasion plays an important role in determining the grade, prognosis, and recurrence of meningioma. There is an emerging trend to explore the feasibility of radiomics in prediction of brain invasion in meningiomas pre-operatively. This review aims to assess the role and quality of published magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics studies on brain invasion prediction. Methods: A search for literature published between January 2019 and October 2024 across five databases was conducted following the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. The methodological quality and risk of bias of eligible studies were assessed by the Radiomics Quality Score (RQS) and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2). Results: Six of 381 studies were included in the final review. All the included studies were retrospective in nature. The majority (5/6, 83.3%) of studies analyzed multisequence MRI for radiomics analysis. Reported validation area under the curve (AUC) ranged from 0.74 to 0.91. The best-performing models described in the included studies used both radiomics and semantic features to construct the final feature signature. The overall methodological quality was low, with a mean radiomics quality score (RQS) score of 12.91 (35.86%). The overall risk of bias was low in 4/6 (66.6%), high in 1/6 (16.7%), and unclear in 1/6 (16.7%) studies. Conclusions: Radiomics analysis may have potential for predicting brain invasion in meningioma, but the current body of evidence and the overall methodological quality of studies are limited. Future studies should incorporate complementary information from multiparametric MRI, and prioritise robust external validation. Addressing class imbalance, and providing comprehensive evaluations of model performance and clinical utility will be essential to determine the practical value of radiomics models in practice.
