Clinical Applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Brain Tumors: From Diagnosis to Treatment.
Review in Radiologic clinics of North America, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 58 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a valuable tool for imaging brain tumors, primarily as an adjunct to conventional imaging and clinical presentation. MRS is useful in initial diagnosis of brain tumors, helping differentiate tumors from possible mimics such as metastatic disease, lymphoma, demyelination, and infection, as well as in the subsequent follow-up of patients after resection and chemoradiation. Unfortunately, the spectroscopic appearance of many pathologies can overlap, and ultimately follow-up or biopsy may be required to make a definitive diagnosis. Future developments may continue to increase the value of MRS for initial diagnosis, treatment planning, and early detection of recurrence.
