When advanced MRI is not about naming musculoskeletal lesions.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nowadays, the use of advanced MRI sequences such as diffusion-weighted imaging or perfusion-weighted imaging in the field of musculoskeletal radiology remains limited compared to other anatomical regions and subspecialties. Several reasons underpin this, primarily technical challenges, and a longstanding reliance on conventional and morphological evaluations of soft tissue and bone lesions. Experienced radiologists often assert that these advanced sequences do not offer added diagnostic value, claiming that a morphological approach suffices. However, in our opinion, the role of these advanced MRI sequences extends beyond merely naming an MSK lesion. In this commentary, we elucidate how these sequences can aid radiologists in various scenarios, from determining patient prognosis and tracking treatment progress to enhancing clinical-radiological correlations or guiding less experienced radiologists in evaluating soft tissues or bone tumours.
