Can Dynamic Contrast-enhanced MRI Contribute to Improved Assessment of Rectosigmoid Involvement in Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis?
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimTo determine whether a prototypical compressed-sensing volume-interpolated breath-hold (csVIBE) provides diagnostic value in detecting rectosigmoid infiltration in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). PATIENTS AND
methodscsVIBE was employed in 151 women undergoing pelvic magnetic resonance imaging, of whom 43 had undergone surgery for suspected endometriosis. The accuracy of T2-weighted BLADE and BLADE/csVIBE, additional diagnostic value of csVIBE, and diagnostic confidence were rated by two readers. Additionally, the presence of the "mushroom cap sign" was assessed on BLADE and csVIBE.
resultsThe diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of BLADE and BLADE/csVIBE were not significantly different between Readers A and B. For both readers, the confidence in the diagnosis increased with csVIBE, but this increase in the odds ratio was not significant for both readers. Both readers preferred csVIBE over BLADE with regard to detection of the "mushroom cap sign."
conclusioncsVIBE may provide a diagnostic benefit for surgical strategy selection through better delineation of the "mushroom cap sign."
