Reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted MRI in patients with cervical cancer.
Article 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 12 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
objectiveDiffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with reduced field-of-view (FOV) has been shown to provide high spatial resolution with reduced distorsion in the spinal cord, breast, pancreas, and prostate gland. Therefore, we performed this study to evaluate the qualitative image quality and quantitative ADC value of reduced FOV DWI in patients with cervical cancer in comparison with conventional DWI.
methodsThis study retrospectively included 22 patients (mean age, 53.9 years) with biopsy-proven cervical cancer who underwent pelvic MR imaging including conventional DWI and reduced FOV DWI before therapy. Two observers independently rated image quality for reduced FOV DWI and conventional DWI regarding anatomic detail, lesion conspicuity, presence of artifacts, and overall image quality using the following 4-point scale. Quantitative analysis was performed by measuring the ADC value of the tumor. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare qualitative scores and mean ADC value between two DWI sequences.
resultsReduced FOV DWI achieved significantly better anatomic detail, lesion conspicuity, presence of artifacts, and overall image quality compared to conventional DWI (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in mean tumor ADC value between the two DWI sequences (0.990 × 10
conclusionReduced FOV DWI shows better image quality in terms of anatomic detail and lesion conspicuity with fewer artifacts compared to conventional DWI. Advance in knowledge: Reduced FOV DWI may enhance diagnostic performance for evaluation of cervical cancer.
