Imaging in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Review.
Review in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Medical imaging is a critical tool in the detection, staging, and treatment planning of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). This article reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the different imaging techniques and modalities available clinically. This includes multidetector computed tomography (CT), multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), and positron emission tomography (PET) for the detection, staging, and management of UTUC. In addition, we review the imaging techniques that are being developed and are on the horizon but have not yet made it to clinical practice. Firstly, we review the imaging findings of primary UTUC and the techniques across multiple modalities. We then discuss imaging findings of metastatic disease. Lastly, we describe the role of imaging in the surveillance after resection of primary UTUC based upon current guidelines.
