Soft tissue sarcoma: can dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI be used to predict the histological grade?
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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 determine if dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters reflect histological grade of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) MATERIALS AND
methodsThe medical records of 50 patients diagnosed with pathologically confirmed STS were retrospectively reviewed. Each STS was assessed with conventional contrast-enhanced MRI and DCE-MRI using a 3.0-T MRI system. The conventional MRI characteristics of low-grade (grade 1) and high-grade (grade 2 and grade 3) tumors were analyzed. Semi-quantitative parameters, including iAUC and TTP, and quantitative parameters, including K
resultsOn conventional MRI, high-grade STSs were significantly larger (≥ 5 cm) and more likely to show a heterogeneous signal intensity on T
conclusionHigh-grade STSs were usually larger than low-grade STSs, had unclear boundaries, a heterogeneous signal intensity on T2-weighted image (T
