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

The aim of the present study was to explore the classification of the internal iliac artery (IIA) and the diagnostic value of the pelvic tumour-feeding artery by multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) compared with digital subtraction angiography (DSA). A total of 43 patients with pelvic tumours were enrolled between January 2013 and August 2017. The classification of the IIA and the quality of the feeding artery of the pelvic tumours were analysed by Yamaki's classification (Groups A-D according to IIA branching) and the 5-point scoring system. The degree of feeding artery stenosis, caused by tumour compression or invasion, was analysed by a 4-point scoring system. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to determine the vascular diagnostic quality identified by MSCTA and DSA. MSCTA of the pelvic arteries was successfully performed in all patients. The main classifications of the IIA were Group A, followed by Group C, then Group B and with no cases of Group D. There was no significant difference in the classification of the IIA between the left and right sides on MSCTA and DSA. The visualization quality of the IIA and its main branches showed excellent consistency, but the difference in the terminal branches of the feeding arteries in the pelvic tumours was statistically significant between MSCTA and DSA. MSCTA has great advantages in evaluating the classification of the IIA, the imaging quality evaluation of the IIA and its main branches, and in the evaluation of the pelvic tumour-feeding artery. However, in the display of the terminal arterial branches of the pelvic tumours, DSA remains irreplaceable, particularly in cases of interventional embolization.
