Pre-operative MRI staging of endometrial cancer in a multicentre cancer network: can we match single centre study results?
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 14 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 evaluate the staging accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for endometrial cancer in daily practice over a 3-year period at a tertiary referral centre receiving scans from a large number of hospitals with varying protocols. To compare these daily practice results to published data from single-centre studies.
methodsAfter ethical approval, MRI staging records for 270 studies from nine network and three centre hospitals were retrospectively collected and compared with final operative histopathology. The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, depth of invasion assessment and cervical stromal invasion were analysed and reasons for discrepancies reviewed.
resultsMRI-based complete FIGO stage was fully concordant with histopathology in 65.6%. MRI accuracy for depth of myometrial invasion and cervical stromal invasion was 73.3% and 89.3% respectively. Our results did not match the high accuracy previously reported in studies based on single centres.
conclusionsPublished MRI staging accuracy from small single-centre studies were not replicated in a tertiary referral centre receiving scans with heterogeneous protocols over a 3-year period. These results highlight the challenges faced in daily practice and may reflect achievable and realistic MRI staging accuracies in large rapid throughput referral networks. Adherence to standardised high-quality protocols may help to improve future results. KEY POINTS: • Three-year MRI-staging accuracy for endometrial cancer in a multicentre cancer network • Daily practice MRI-staging accuracy did not meet results of single-centre studies • Large scale cancer network MRI-staging accuracies should be further evaluated • Treatment recommendations should be based on achievable MRI-staging accuracies.
