Added value of diffusion-weighted imaging for evaluation of extramural venous invasion in patients with primary rectal cancer.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2019. 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
objective: To evaluate the added value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to T
methods: 79 patients (50 men, 29 females, mean age 67.4 years, range 37-87 years) who had undergone rectal MRI and subsequently received surgical resection were included. The rectal MRI consisted of T
results: For both readers, the diagnostic performance was not significantly different between the two image sets (for reader 1, AUC, 0.828 and 0.825, p = 0.9426 and for reader 2, AUC, 0.723 and 0.726, p = 0.9244, respectively).
conclusion: There was no added value of DWI to T2WI for detection of EMVI in patients with primary rectal cancer. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE:: High-resolution T2WI alone is sufficient to assess EMVI and a supplementary DWI has no added value in patients with primary rectal cancer.
