Whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging with background body signal suppression in the detection of osseous and extra-osseous metastases.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo assess the reproducibility of detection of osseous and extra-osseous metastases in cancer patients using whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging with background body signal suppression (WB-DWIBS). MATERIAL AND
methodsA prospective study was conducted on 39 consecutive patients (21 females, 18 males; mean age 48 years) with metastases, who underwent WB-DWIBS on a 1.5-T MR scanner. Image analysis was performed independently by two blinded observers. Inter-observer agreement was assessed for the detection of osseous (spinal, appendicular) and extra-osseous (hepatic, pulmonary, nodal, and peritoneal) metastases.
resultsThe overall inter-observer agreement of WB-DWIBS in the detection of osseous and extra-osseous metastases was excellent (κ = 0.887, agreement = 94.44%,
conclusionWe concluded that WB-DWIBS is reproducible for detection of osseous and extra-osseous metastases in cancer patients.
