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 assess the computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) fusion imaging technique features in cervical cancer staging and lymph node metastasis.

methodsA total of 196 cervical cancer patients undergoing CT, MRI, PET/CT, and PET/MRI preoperatively were enrolled. The diagnostic accuracy and detection rates for paracervical invasion were evaluated on the basis of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging classification for cervical cancer. The diagnostic efficacy of each examination modality for determining lymph node metastasis was evaluated using surgical pathology as a reference. The CT and MRI imaging features of lymph node metastasis were compared.

resultsPET/MRI had a higher diagnostic accuracy for cervical cancer (94.90%) than PET/CT, MRI, and CT (83.67%, 75.51%, and 69.39%) (

conclusionCT, MRI, PET/CT and PET/MRI can be used effectively in the diagnosis of cervical cancer staging and lymph node metastasis, among which PET/MRI has a higher diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy and is helpful in clinical diagnosis and treatment.
