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

Radiological imaging plays an important role in oncological trials to provide imaging biomarkers for disease staging, stratifying patients, defining dose setting, and evaluating the safety and efficacy of new candidate drugs and innovative treatment. This paper reviews the techniques of most commonly used quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) biomarkers (dynamic contrast enhanced, dynamic susceptibility contrast, and diffusion weighted imaging) and their applications in oncological trials. Challenges of incorporating qMRI biomarkers in oncological trials are discussed including understanding biological mechanisms revealed by MRI biomarkers, consideration of rigorous trial design and standardized implementation of qMRI protocols.
