Tumour volume of resectable oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma measured with MRI correlates well with T category and lymphatic metastasis.
Article in European radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesTo determine association of gross tumour volume (GTV) of resectable oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) measured on T
methodsSixty oesophageal SCC patients underwent fat-suppressed T
resultsSpearman's rank correlation analysis showed positive association of GTV with T category and LM (all p values < 0.01). Differences in GTV were found between T1 and T2 or T3 categories shown by Kruskal-Wallis H and one-way ANOVA tests, and between T1/T2 and T3 and between tumours with and without LM by Mann-Whitney U tests (all p values < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic analyses showed cut-off GTVs of 5.795, 5.276 and 10.11 cm
conclusionsGTVs on T KEY POINTS: • GTV is associated with T category and lymphatic metastasis of oesophageal SCC • GTV measured on contrast-enhanced T
