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

objectiveBlood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) MRI may identify or quantify the regional distribution of hypoxia within a tumor. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of BOLD MRI at 3 T in differentiating prostate cancer from benign tissue.

methodsA total of 145 patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer underwent BOLD MRI at 3 T. BOLD MRI was performed using a multiple fast field echo sequence to acquire 12

resultsTumor R2* values (25.95 s

conclusionBOLD MRI at 3 T appears to be a feasible tool for differentiating between prostate cancer and benign tissue. However, further studies are required for a direct clinical application. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The R2* values are significantly different among prostate cancer, benign PZ, and benign TZ.
