Systematic review of the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging for early glottic carcinoma.
Review in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: In early glottic cancer, accurate assessment of tumor extension, including depth infiltration, is of great importance for both staging, therapeutic approach and systematic comparison of data. Our goal was to assess the diagnostic value of MRI in pre-therapeutic staging of primary early stage (T1 and T2) glottic carcinoma. Study design: Systematic review of literature. Methods: We conducted a systematic search in Pubmed, Embase, and Scopus up to September 23, 2016. Included studies were selected and critically appraised for relevance and validity. Results: Seven out of 938 unique articles were selected, including 64 cases. MRI over-staged 6% and under-staged 13% of cT1 and cT2 tumors. However, available data is heterogeneous, very limited and mainly based on subanalysis of a small amount of patients. Reported MRI protocols appear to be suboptimal for small laryngeal lesions. Diagnostic value of MRI for subtle depth infiltration or laryngeal anatomical subsites (eg, laryngeal ventricle, vocal cord, etc.) could not be assessed. Conclusions: More studies are needed to assess the diagnostic value of MRI for small glottic tumors.
