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

objectivesThe insula was invaded by gliomas and epilepsy occurred frequently. Our study aimed to reveal brain reorganization and explore potential peripheral biomarkers that reflect these processes.

methods51 insular glioma-related epilepsy (IRE) and 52 without epilepsy (IRnE) patients were included. Deep learning was used for tumor segmentation to generate masks for subsequent analyses. Virtual brain grafting was applied to eliminate the mass effect. Morphological analyses relied on MATLAB, SPM, and CAT12. Statistical analyses included χ

resultsIncreased gyrification (GI) occurred on the contralateral side of IRnE. Increased gray matter volume and toroidal GI (Toro GI) appeared on the same and contralateral sides of IRE, respectively. Elevated Toro GI showed an initial predictive value for the control of postoperative epilepsy and was negatively associated with blood white cell, monocyte, and neutrophil counts in IRE. The opposite relationship was observed for GI in IRnE. SIGNIFICANCE: The brain would conduct different reorganization models to adapt to IRE and IRnE. These processes may be associated with specific peripheral inflammatory cells. Longitudinal studies and explorations of more specific biomarkers are necessary for elucidating the causal relationships and providing suggestions for therapeutic concepts of different insular glioma subtypes.
