Non-contrast magnetic resonance lymphography (NCMRL) in cancer-related secondary lymphedema: acquisition technique and imaging findings.
Review in La Radiologia medica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Cancer-related secondary lymphedema (LE) is a widespread issue, which markedly affects patients' quality of life. Its diagnosis is mainly clinical since there is no consensus on the best imaging technique that should be used to assess this pathology. Even if lymphedema treatment has been traditionally conservative and mainly based on compressive bandages and decongestive therapy, new surgical techniques are proving their effectiveness in the management of the disease and made proper assessment and characterization of lymphedema necessary. In this scenario, non-contrast magnetic resonance lymphography (NCMRL) is acquiring an increasing role, as a non-invasive imaging technique, useful for the analysis of LE. NCMRL is an effective tool in diagnosis confirmation, in providing information about the structural changes of the affected limbs, in grading this disorder, and provides a guide for LE management and treatment planning. This article aims to provide an overview of the literature regarding this examination, analyzing the acquisition technique, the interpretation of the imaging findings and their usefulness, the advantages and limits of this technique, to help the radiologist approach this relatively new investigation in cases of cancer-related LE.
