Comparison between free-breathing radial VIBE on 3-T MRI and endoscopic ultrasound for preoperative T staging of resectable oesophageal cancer, with histopathological correlation.
Article in European radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
objectivesTo compare the T staging of resectable oesophageal cancer (OC) using radial VIBE (r-VIBE) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with pathological confirmation of the T stage.
methodsForty-three patients with endoscopically proven OC and indeterminate T1/T2/T3/T4a stage by computed tomography (CT) and EUS were imaged on a 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. T stage was scored on MRI and EUS by two independent radiologists and one endoscopist, respectively, and compared with postoperative pathological findings. T staging agreement between r-VIBE and EUS with postoperative pathological T staging was analysed by a kappa test.
resultsEUS and pathological T staging showed agreement of 69.8% (30/43). Radial VIBE and pathological T staging agreement was 86.0% (37/43) and 90.7% (39/43) for readers 1 and 2, respectively. High accuracy for T1/T2 stage was obtained for both r-VIBE readers (90.5% and 100% for reader 1 and reader 2, respectively) and EUS reader (100%). For T3/T4, r-VIBE showed accuracy of 81.8% and 90.9% for reader 1 and reader 2, respectively, while for EUS, accuracy was only 68.2% compared with pathological T staging.
conclusionsContrast-enhanced r-VIBE is comparable to EUS in T staging of resectable OC with stage of T1/T2, and is superior to EUS in staging of T3/T4 lesions. KEY POINTS: • Radial VIBE may be useful in preoperative T staging of OC • Accuracy of staging on r-VIBE is higher in T1/2 than in T3/4 • Accuracy of EUS was 100% and 68.2% for T1/T2 and T3/T4 stage • Inter-reader agreement of T staging for r-VIBE was good.
