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

backgroundDespite advances in imaging, the accurate characterization of soft tissue tumours remains a challenging task. Furthermore, the interpretation of post treatment changes and evaluation of tumour response to therapy is another complicating issue regarding soft tissue tumour imaging. CASE REPORT: Herein, a patient with a pelvic hemangiopericytoma, by whom different diagnostic imaging methods were used, is presented.

conclusionsDiffusion weighted imaging (DWI) might provid useful information in guiding biopsy and enabled monitoring of the radiation therapy results.
