Diagnostic value of whole-body MRI with diffusion-weighted sequence for detection of peritoneal metastases in colorectal malignancy.
Article in Cancer biology & medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess the diagnostic accuracy of whole-body MRI using diffusion-weighted sequence (WB-DWI) to determine the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) in correlation with surgical and histopathological findings.
methodsTwenty-seven patients underwent preoperative WB-MRI, followed by cytoreductive surgery for primary tumors of the appendix (
resultsNo statistical difference was found between the WB-DWI PCI and surgical PCI (
conclusionsWB-DWI accurately predicted PCI before surgery in patients undergoing evaluation for cytoreductive surgery.
