Feasibility of a reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted (rFOV) sequence in assessment of myometrial invasion in patients with clinical FIGO stage I endometrial cancer.
Article in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo compare the clinical usefulness of reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging (rFOV) with other imaging techniques in determining the depth of myometrial invasion (DMI) in endometrial cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this prospective study we reviewed 3T magnetic resonance images of 51 patients with clinical Stage I endometrial cancer who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salphingoopherectomy within 3 days after imaging. rFOV with apparent diffusion coefficient reconstruction was obtained in three standard planes followed by sagittal T2 -weighted (T2 WI) images and 3D dynamic T1 -weighted and contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE MRI). Two radiologists with expertise in imaging gynecologic cancers evaluated images independently. The DMI was recorded on imaging and correlated with surgical pathology results. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy for DMI were calculated (<50% vs. >50%).
resultsCompared with sagittal T2 WI + DCE MRI, rFOV imaging yielded greater specificity (82.2% vs. 90.0%, positive predictive value (42.8% vs. 60.0%), and accuracy (84.0% vs. 92%) for DMI determined by reader 1 and greater the sensitivity (83.3% vs. 100%) for DMI determined by reader 2. The error of measurement of DMI as a continuous variable in millimeters did not differ significantly between the rFOV and pathology results (P < 0.21). However, there was a statistically significant difference for the DMI measured on the dynamic sequence. The DMI on DCE was greater than that seen on pathology at P = 0.02.
conclusionrFOV can be used to assess DMI in clinical Stage I endometrial cancer.
