Diagnostic accuracy of MRI for evaluating myometrial invasion in endometrial cancer: a comparison of MUSE-DWI, rFOV-DWI, and DCE-MRI.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
objectivesTo compare the image quality of high-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) using multiplexed sensitivity encoding (MUSE) versus reduced field-of-view (rFOV) techniques in endometrial cancer (EC) and to compare the diagnostic performance of these techniques with that of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI for assessing myometrial invasion of EC.
methodsMUSE-DWI and rFOV-DWI were obtained preoperatively in 58 women with EC. Three radiologists assessed the image quality of MUSE-DWI and rFOV-DWI. For 55 women who underwent DCE-MRI, the same radiologists assessed the superficial and deep myometrial invasion using MUSE-DWI, rFOV-DWI, and DCE-MRI. Qualitative scores were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to compare the diagnostic performance.
resultsArtifacts, sharpness, lesion conspicuity, and overall quality were significantly better with MUSE-DWI than with rFOV-DWI (p < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of MUSE-DWI, rFOV-DWI, and DCE-MRI for the assessment of myometrial invasion were not significantly different except for significantly higher AUC of MUSE-DWI than that of DCE-MRI for superficial myometrial invasion (0.76 for MUSE-DWI and 0.64 for DCE-MRI, p = 0.049) and for deep myometrial invasion (0.92 for MUSE-DWI and 0.80 for DCE-MRI, p = 0.022) in one observer, and that of rFOV-DWI for deep myometrial invasion in another observer (0.96 for MUSE-DWI and 0.89 for rFOV-MRI, p = 0.048).
conclusionMUSE-DWI exhibits better image quality than rFOV-DWI. MUSE-DWI and rFOV-DWI shows almost equivalent diagnostic performance compared to DCE-MRI for assessing superficial and deep myometrial invasion in EC although MUSE-DWI may be helpful for some radiologists.
