Role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis and staging of urinary bladder cancer.
Article in Current urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: To assess the role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) in the diagnosis and staging of urinary bladder cancer (BC). Materials and methods: Fifty patients diagnosed with bladder masses underwent mp-MRI study. The results of 3 image sets were analyzed and compared with the histopathological results as a reference standard: T2-weighted image (T2WI) plus dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE), T2WI plus diffusion-weighted images (DWI), and mp-MRI, including T2WI plus DWI and DCE. The diagnostic accuracy of mp-MRI was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: The accuracy of T2WI plus DCE for detecting muscle invasion of BC was 79.5% with a fair agreement with histopathological examination ( Conclusions: Multiparametric MRI is an acceptable method for the preoperative detection and accurate staging of BC, with reasonable accuracy in differentiating between low- and high-grade BC.
