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

objectiveTo investigate whether differences in thoracic tumour staging between MATERIAL AND

methodsSeventy-seven NSCLC patients that underwent whole-body

resultsStaging results differed in 35 % of patients (27 patients) between thoracic PET/CT and PET/MR. Differences were detected when assessing the T-stage in 18 % (n = 14), the N-stage in 23 % (n = 18), and the M-stage in 1 % (n = 1). However, patient therapy management was changed in only six patients (8 %).

conclusionDespite the variability of thoracic KEY POINTS: • PET/CT and PET/MR provide comparable results in early stages in NSCLC • Clinical impact of different staging results has not been investigated • PET/CT and PET/MR lead to comparable therapeutic decisions • PET/MR can be considered an alternative to PET/CT for NSCLC staging.
