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
Imaging appearances of peripheral nerve sheath tumors by MRI are difficult distinguish from soft-tissue tumors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and imaging appearance of high-resolution 3-T magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) of the diagnosis of peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) using sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolution (SPACE) sequences. We retrospectively evaluated the MRI and 3D Short tau inversion recovery sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using varying flip-angle evolutions (3D-STIR SPACE) sequences of 30 patients with PNSTs diagnosed by surgery and pathology. The contrast-enhanced 3D-STIR SPACE images were retrospectively analyzed and evaluated for the visualization of PNSTs. The tumors were evaluated by their number, location, morphology, size, signal intensity and enhancement characteristics. The imaging findings and characteristic signs of conventional MRI scanning and contrast-enhanced 3D-STIR SPACE sequences were compared. In these cases, conventional MRI images display the location, number, shape, size and signal characteristics of the lesions. These tumors were mostly solitary and had a well-defined boundary. Compared to conventional MRI images, imaging appearances including neurogenic origin, length of the peripheral nerves and relation to the nerve of PNSTs on 3D-STIR SPACE images were more accuracy (P < 0.05). Compared to 3D-STIR SPACE images, contrast-enhanced images can more clearly display background suppression of the peripheral nerves. The "split fat" sign and "target" sign were seen in some patients. 3D STIR SPACE sequences demonstrate its significant capacity to diagnostic evaluate and location of PNSTs. This article comprehensively reviews radiologic findings and illustrates the MRN features of PNSTs. 3D-STIR SPACE sequences be used for preoperative evaluation of PNSTs.
