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

Time resolved magnetic resonance angiography with interleaved stochastic trajectories (TWIST) allows for identification of tumor feeding arteries and arteriovenous shunt (AVS). We used TWIST to obtain number of feeding arteries (NFA) and detect AVS for 43 cases of pathology-confirmed soft tissue tumors. We compared normalized number of feeding arteries (nNFA) and AVS between malignant and benign tumors, and found nNFA was significantly greater in malignant tumors versus benign tumors (2.1 vs 1.3, P < .05). The incidence of AVS was significantly higher in malignant tumors versus benign tumors (87.5% vs 10.5%, P < .05). TWIST derived nNFA and AVS could be useful in the discrimination of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors.
