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

The standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is platinum-based chemotherapy in association with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT), often also called 'interventional radiotherapy' (IRT). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most accurate imaging modality for both staging and response evaluation; therefore MRI-guided IRT has become the method of choice for planning a radiation boost after EBRT. The aim of this paper was to describe the MRI radiological workflow currently ongoing at our Institution. In addition, we provided a detailed pictorial essay of our experience, especially for radiologists, to implement MRI-based IRT spread in clinical practice.
