Magnetic resonance imaging as an adjunct diagnostic tool in computed tomography defined Bosniak IIF-III renal cysts: a multicenter study.
Article in World journal of urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionCT imaging is the standard examination for renal cystic lesions and defines the Bosniak category, which dictates further management. Given that Bosniak II/IIF/III renal cystic lesions can potentially harbor renal cell carcinoma (RCC), additional diagnostic modalities may be required in management decision making.
aimTo determine the value of additional magnetic resonance imaging in CT-defined Bosniak IIF-III renal cystic lesions. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis a multicenter retrospective study of 46 consecutive patients, diagnosed with cystic renal lesions between 2009 and 2016. The inclusion criteria were: (1) cystic renal lesion classified as Bosniak IIF-III on CT, (2) a subsequent MRI examination, and (3) documented outcome via surgery for cystic renal mass or follow-up.
results46 patients (35 males, 11 females) were included. The mean size of the cystic lesion was 3.92 cm (0.7-10 cm). According to the CT findings, Bosniak IIF and III were found in 12 (26.1%) and 34 (73.9%) cases. Reclassification of Bosniak category was done after MRI examination in 31 cases (67.4%). An upgrade rate of 58.7% (27 cases) to a higher category was made, while the downgrade rate to a lower category was achieved in 4 cases (8.7%). As a result, significant therapeutic management change was made in 12/31 patients (38.7%), of whom 8 underwent subsequent surgery.
conclusionMRI study may reduce the use of Bosniak IIF category (in comparison with CT), which has a direct impact on therapeutic management (surgery vs. surveillance) in a significant proportion of patients.
