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

purposeThe quantification of radiotherapy (RT)-induced functional and morphological brain alterations is fundamental to guide therapeutic decisions in patients with brain tumors. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows to define structural RT-brain changes, but it is unable to evaluate early injuries and to objectively quantify the volume tissue loss. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools extract accurate measurements that permit an objective brain different region quantification. In this study, we assessed the consistency between an AI software (Quibim Precision

methodsGBM patients treated with RT and subjected to MRI assessment were enrolled. Each patient, pre- and post-RT, undergoes to a qualitative evaluation with global cerebral atrophy (GCA) and medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) and a quantitative assessment with Quibim Brain screening and hippocampal atrophy and asymmetry modules on 19 extracted brain structures features.

resultsA statistically significant strong negative association between the percentage value of the left temporal lobe and the GCA score and the left temporal lobe and the MTA score was found, while a moderate negative association between the percentage value of the right hippocampus and the GCA score and the right hippocampus and the MTA score was assessed. A statistically significant strong positive association between the CSF percentage value and the GCA score and a moderate positive association between the CSF percentage value and the MTA score was found. Finally, quantitative feature values showed that the percentage value of the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) statistically differences between pre- and post-RT.

conclusionsAI tools can support a correct evaluation of RT-induced brain injuries, allowing an objective and earlier assessment of the brain tissue modifications.
