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
purposePreoperative assessment of extraocular muscle invasion is essential for therapeutic strategies and prognostic evaluation. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of MRI for evaluation of extraocular muscle (EM) invasion by malignant sinonasal tumors. MATERIALS AND
methodsConsecutively, 76 patients of sinonasal malignant tumors with orbital invasion were included in the present study. Preoperative MRI imaging features were analyzed by two radiologists independently. The diagnostic performances of MR imaging features for detecting EM involvement were evaluated by comparing imaging findings to histopathology data.
resultsA total of 31 extraocular muscles were involved by sinonasal malignant tumors in 22 patients, including 10 medial rectus muscles (32.2%), 10 inferior rectus muscles (32.2%), 9 superior oblique muscles (29.1%), and 2 external rectus muscles (6.5%). The EM involved by sinonasal malignant tumors usually showed relatively high signal intensity on T2-weighted images, indistinguishable from the tumor, nodular enlargement and abnormal enhancement (p = 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001 and < 0.001, respectively). Using a combination of EM abnormal enhancement and indistinguishable from the tumor in multivariate logistic regression analysis, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy for detecting orbital EM invasion by sinonasal tumors were 93.5, 85.2, 76.3, 96.3 and 88%, respectively.
conclusionMRI imaging features show high diagnostic performance for the diagnosis of extraocular muscle invasion by malignant sinonasal tumors.
