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: Accurate staging of cervical cancer via conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains challenging, suggesting a greater need for coil placement closer to the region of interest. This study aimed to determine the value of 3.0-T MRI with an endovaginal coil combined with the pelvic array coil (combined coil) in the preoperative staging of cervical cancer and its correlation with histopathology. Methods: Patients with cervical cancer who received 3.0-T MR scans with the pelvic array coil and combined coil from January 2023 to March 2024 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were included in the study. The accuracy of preoperative staging was compared between the two groups with surgical pathological staging as the gold standard, and image features such as parametrial involvement and vaginal invasion were analyzed. Results: The voxel size value for the pelvic coil was 1.83 (0.78×0.78×3) mm Conclusions: The endovaginal coil can improve the high-resolution images of the cervical region while visualizing the lesion size and extent, along with the depth of infiltration of the surrounding tissues. The 3.0-T MRI with an endovaginal coil combined with a pelvic array coil has a high application value in the preoperative staging of cervical cancer. It can also provide an important basis for clinical decision-making.
