Whole Body MRI and oncology: recent major advances.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
MRI is a very attractive approach for tumour detection and oncological staging with its absence of ionizing radiation, high soft tissue contrast and spatial resolution. Less than 10 years ago the use of Whole Body MRI (WB-MRI) protocols was uncommon due to many limitations, such as the forbidding acquisition times and limited availability. This decade has marked substantial progress in WB-MRI protocols. This very promising technique is rapidly arising from the research world and is becoming a commonly used examination for tumour detection due to recent technological developments and validation of WB-MRI by multiple studies and consensus papers. As a result, WB-MRI is progressively proposed by radiologists as an efficient examination for an expanding range of indications. As the spectrum of its uses becomes wider, radiologists will soon be confronted with the challenges of this technique and be urged to be trained in order to accurately read and report these examinations. The aim of this review is to summarize the validated indications of WB-MRI and present an overview of its most recent advances. This paper will briefly discuss how this examination is performed and which are the recommended sequences along with the future perspectives in the field.
