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

aimTo delineate cervical cancer gross tumor volume (GTV) on T2-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, assessing volumes and inter-observer agreement between two observers. PATIENTS AND

methodsA radiologist and a radiation oncologist delineated GTV on T2 (T2

resultsMean T2

conclusionGTV delineation was smaller in the ADC maps compared to T2-MRI, reaching an almost perfect agreement between observers. Thanks to this acceptable variability, adding functional imaging might provide more information for tumor delineation, improving reproducibility for image-guided adaptive radiotherapy.
