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: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has now become the best modality for the preoperative staging of cervical cancer. This study was to compare the value of high-resolution reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted MR imaging (r-FOV DWI) with conventional field-of-view (c-FOV DWI) in the diagnosis of cervical cancer. Methods: Forty-five patients (25 patients with cervical cancer and 20 patients with normal cervix) received magnetic resonance (MR) scans (3.0T), including both r-FOV DWI and c-FOV DWI sequences. The image quality (IQ) of both sequences was subjectively assessed by two attending radiologists using a double-blind method and quantitatively by the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Moreover, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values for cervical cancer were blindly measured by one technician on the ADC map. Results: The subjective scores of r-FOV DWI images were higher than those of c-FOV DWI (P<0.0001), and the interrater reliability was in good agreement [Cohen's kappa coefficient (κ) =0.547-0.914]. There was a significant difference in CNR between the two DWI image groups (r-FOV DWI 12.73±5.56 Conclusions: r-FOV DWI can effectively improve the spatial resolution of the image while reducing distortion and artifacts. Furthermore, it can help to diagnose cervical cancer more accurately for the more realistic ADC values.
