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 incidence of abdominal and pelvic cancer in pregnancy is low, but it is rising as the population of pregnant women gets older. Depending on disease stage, gestational age and patient's preference, active surveillance as well as surgery and chemotherapy are feasible options during pregnancy. Correct diagnosis and staging of the tumor is crucial for choosing the best therapeutic approach. Moreover, a reproducible modality to assess the treatment response is requested. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used with good results for the local staging and treatment response evaluation of most abdominal and pelvic cancers in nonpregnant patients, and it is considered relatively safe during pregnancy. The purpose of this article is to analyze the most relevant topics regarding the use of MRI in pregnant women with abdominal and pelvic cancer. We discuss MRI safety during pregnancy, including the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), how to prepare the patient for the exam and MRI technique. This will be followed by a brief review on the most common malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy and their MRI appearance.
