Diagnostic accuracy of retrospective application of the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System: preliminary results.
Article in Radiologia brasileira. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo evaluate the retrospective accuracy of the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) in detecting muscle invasion in bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe investigated patients who underwent pelvic magnetic resonance imaging and were submitted to transurethral resection of a bladder tumor between 2015 and 2018. Thirty cases were reviewed by radiologists blinded to the final clinical stage. The VI-RADS score was applied and compared with the histopathological findings in the surgical specimen.
resultsOf the 30 patients with suspicious bladder lesions, 5 (16.6%) had benign histopathological findings, 17 (56.6%) had non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and 8 (26.6%) had muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The optimal criterion to detect muscle-invasive bladder cancer was a final VI-RADS score > 3, for which the sensitivity and specificity were 100% (95% CI: 56.0-100%) and 90.9% (95% CI: 69.3-98.4%), respectively.
conclusionThe VI-RADS appears to estimate correctly the degree of muscle invasion in suspicious bladder lesions. However, prospective studies evaluating larger samples are needed in order to validate the method.
