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 and purpose: Distinguishing between high-grade glioma (HGG) and primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is of paramount clinical importance, as these entities necessitate substantially different therapeutic approaches. The differential diagnosis becomes particularly challenging when HGG presents without characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, making it difficult to differentiate from PCNSL. The diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) offer quantitative assessments of water molecule diffusion within tissues, thereby providing potential means to characterize microstructural differences between HGG and PCNSL. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of histogram analysis based on DTI and NODDI parameters in differentiating atypical HGG from PCNSL. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent multi- Results: A total of 55 patients (30 with atypical HGG and 25 with PCNSL), were included in this study. Several histogram features of parameters could be used to classify the HGG and PCNSL ( Conclusion: DTI-and NODDI-based histogram analysis demonstrates the potential to differentiate between atypical HGG and PCNSL.
