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

backgroundMRI-guided radiation therapy can image a target and irradiate it at the same time. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) is a liver-specific contrast agent that can selectively visualize liver tumors, even if plain MRI does not depict them. The purpose of this study was to present a proof of concept of SPIO-enhanced MRI-guided radiation therapy for liver tumor. CASE PRESENTATION: MRI-guided stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) was planned for a patient with impaired renal function who developed liver metastases after nephroureterectomy for ureteral cancer. Because liver metastasis was not visualized on plain MRI, SPIO-enhanced MRI was performed at 0.35 T using true fast imaging with steady-state free precession (true FISP) pulse sequence and SABR was performed. Liver metastasis was clearly visualized by SPIO-enhanced MRI, and MRI-guided SABR was performed without adverse events.

conclusionEven if liver metastasis is not visualized by plain MRI, liver metastasis can be clearly depicted by administering SPIO, and MRI-guided radiation therapy can be performed.
