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

purposeTo analyse the appearance of primary and recurrent malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a focus on configuration, and to assess the occurrence of loco-regional post-treatment changes and metastases during post-treatment follow-up. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwenty patients with histologically proven MPNST underwent post-treatment 1.5 T MRI. Primary and recurrent MPNSTs were examined for configuration, contrast enhancement, extent, and signal intensity in MRI. Loco-regional post-treatment changes and information on metastases were extracted from the follow-up.

resultsMPNSTs occurred most often in the extremities (

conclusionsWhile primary MPNSTs mostly appear unifocally as multilobulated or ovoid lesions, recurrent MPNSTs purely occur multifocally as mostly nodular lesions. Subcutaneous and muscle oedema are very common loco-regional post-treatment changes. Patients with recurrences have a higher risk for lung and lymph node metastases.
