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

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with endometrial cancer (EC). Material and methods: This retrospective study analysed 45 EC patients (mean age: 62 years, range: 44-84 years) undergoing contrast-enhanced CT with dual-energy CT (DECT) and MRI between September 2021 and October 2022. Dual-energy CT generated conventional CT (C-CT) and 40 keV VMI. Quantitative analysis compared contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of tumour to myometrium between C-CT and VMI. Qualitative assessment by 5 radiologists compared C-CT, VMI, and MRI for myometrial invasion (MI), cervical invasion, and lymph node metastasis. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated and compared for each diagnostic parameter. Results: Virtual monoenergetic imaging showed significantly higher CNR than C-CT ( Conclusions: The study found no significant superiority of MRI over CT across all diagnostic parameters. VMI demonstrated heightened sensitivity for MI, and C-CT showed greater sensitivity and AUC for cervical invasion than MRI. This suggests that combining VMI with C-CT holds promise as a comprehensive preoperative staging tool for EC when MRI cannot be performed.
