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

objectiveTo investigate the value of MRI after ultrasonic gel vagina filling in the staging of early-stage cervical cancer.

methodsA total of 158 patients with cervical cancer who underwent MRI examination after their cervical cancer diagnosis was confirmed by cervical biopsy were prospectively enrolled. Routine MRI examination was performed first, followed by another MRI examination after vaginal filling with ultrasound gel. Two physicians used a double-blind method to determine the staging of cervical cancer based on the MRI images before and after vaginal filling of ultrasound gel. Results of the postoperative pathology analysis were used as the golden standard. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value for stage Ⅱa cases of the two examinations of the same patient were compared, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in identifying stage Ⅱa cervical cancer were compared.

resultsTwo physicians used the double blind method to determine the staging of cervical cancer based on conventional MRI images, achieving moderate consistency (

conclusionMRI examination after ultrasound gel vaginal filling has better diagnostic value for identifying stage Ⅱa cervical cancer. The method is simple and easy to do, and can be used in routine MRI examination of cervical cancer.
