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

Glioma resection surgeries require balance between language functioning protection and maximal tumour removal. Surgical planning is key for the success of resection procedures and the techniques involved are often associated with cortical mapping and tissue differentiation. These techniques include direct electrical stimulation, stereo-electroencephalography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, functional ultrasound, hyperspectral imaging and intraoperative optical imaging. The present review explores the anatomical features of language-eloquent areas and the techniques and technologies developed to map cortical areas and distinguish tumour tissue from functional tissue. The benefits and limitations of each technique are discussed, along with their intraoperative and preoperative uses. All techniques are discussed in the context of their effectiveness in the preservation of cortical areas responsible for language processing.
