Diagnostic imaging and emerging image-guided neurointervention in brain tumors: a narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Brain tumors are heterogeneous neoplasms requiring multidisciplinary management and precise diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Diagnostic radiology plays a central role in tumor detection, characterization, treatment planning, and surveillance through advanced imaging modalities such as multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, perfusion imaging, diffusion techniques, spectroscopy, and molecular imaging. Concurrently, image-guided procedures performed across endovascular neurointerventional and neurosurgical workflows, including embolization, laser interstitial thermal therapy, intra-arterial chemotherapy, convection-enhanced delivery, and blood-brain barrier modulation, are expanding minimally invasive options in selected patients. This review synthesizes current and emerging diagnostic radiology and image-guided approaches across major brain tumor types, including glioblastoma, low-grade glioma, metastases, primary central nervous system lymphoma, and meningioma. Furthermore, this review highlights the growing overlap among diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, and neurosurgical workflows, emphasizes the increasingly central role of imaging in guiding therapy, and identifies the need in which coordinated multidisciplinary workflows should be prospectively evaluated as diagnostic and therapeutic technologies continue to converge. Lastly, this review distinguishes established clinical tools from selectively used and investigational approaches by summarizing evidence level, patient-selection considerations, and barriers to routine implementation.
