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

objectiveThis study investigates the performance of the DiffMag handheld probe (nonlinear magnetometry), to be used for sentinel lymph node detection. Furthermore, the performance of DiffMag is compared with a gamma probe and a first-order magnetometer (Sentimag

methodsThe performance of all three probes was evaluated based on longitudinal distance, transverse distance, and resolving power for two tracer volumes. A phantom was developed to investigate the performance of the probes for a clinically relevant situation in the floor of the mouth (FOM).

resultsConsidering the longitudinal distance, both DiffMag handheld and Sentimag

conclusionsWith a high resolving power but limited longitudinal distance, the DiffMag handheld probe seems suitable for detecting SLNs which are in close proximity to the primary tumor. In this study, comparable results were shown using linear magnetometry. The gamma probe reached 10 times deeper, but has a lower resolving power compared with the DiffMag handheld probe.
