Review in Der Radiologe, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
clinical/methodical issueMagnet resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent anatomical reference method for the combination with positron emission tomography (PET). But MRI does not produce data, which can be directly used for attenuation correction of PET data, potentially compromising quantitative accuracy of PET. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL
methodsHybrid-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is an established standard diagnostic tool, particularly for staging and restaging in oncology. Attenuation correction of PET data is performed with a µMAP derived from low-dose-CT, considered as a robust method. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: Using standardized MRI-sequences, tissue classes are segmented and attenuation maps are obtained, based on empirical density values. In addition, new reconstruction algorithms and the possibility to acquire PET and MRI simultaneously with MRI-based motion correction are available. These advances have improved image quality and quantitative accuracy of the PET-data in PET/MRI. PERFORMANCE: In numerous oncological studies PET/CT and PET/MR were rated as equal in their diagnostic performance. The combination of functional-metabolic PET and multiparametric MRI with excellent soft tissue contrast complement each other with regard to their diagnostic information in numerous tumor entities. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: The standard diagnostic workup for lung cancer is currently still based on PET/CT. In numerous tumor entities, the combination of PET/MRI can provide additional diagnostic information.
