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

objectivesTo use Dixon-MR images extracted from [ MATERIALS AND

methodsPediatric patients with lymphoma examined by [

resultsThirty-seven patients (mean age ± SD 14 ± 3-years-old; 20 females) matched the inclusion criteria. After chemotherapy (interval between the two PET/MR scans, 56-80 days; median 65 days), muscle volume significantly decreased (629 ± 259 cm

conclusionsThe proposed method demonstrated that pediatric patients with lymphoma undergo muscle loss and an increase of subcutaneous fat during treatment. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The proposed automatic and volumetric MR-based assessment of body composition in children with lymphoma can be used to monitor the effect of chemotherapy and may guide tailored exercise programs during chemotherapy. KEY POINTS: T1w Dixon images can be used for the automatic segmentation and quantification of body composition. Muscle and subcutaneous fat volume do not act as predictors of the response to treatment in children with lymphoma. Chemotherapy induces changes in body composition in children with lymphoma.
