1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Bone metastases are common, cause significant morbidity, and impact on healthcare resources. Although radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scintigraphy have frequently been used for staging the skeleton, these methods are insensitive and nonspecific for monitoring treatment response in a clinically relevant time frame. We summarize several recent reports on new functional and hybrid imaging methods including single photon emission CT/CT, positron emission tomography/CT, and whole-body MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging. These modalities generally show improvements in diagnostic accuracy for staging and response assessment over standard imaging methods, with the ability to quantify biological processes related to the bone microenvironment as well as tumor cells. As some of these methods are now being adopted into routine clinical practice and clinical trials, further evaluation with comparative studies is required to guide optimal and cost-effective clinical management of patients with skeletal metastases. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
