Perineural spread evaluation of cranial nerves in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: superiority and reliability of isovolumetric MR imaging.

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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantage of three-dimensional liver acquisition with volume acceleration-flexible (3D LAVA_Flex) for perineural spread (PNS) status of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in comparison with two-dimensional magnetic resonance sequences. Materials and methods: Sixty pathological proved NPC patients were prospective enrolled. A protocol included T2-weighted imaging with fat suppression (T2WI fs), T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) without and with contrast enhancement (T1WI ce), and 3D LAVA_Flex was applied for the recruited subject. After determining radiologic diagnostic criteria, the PNS status of cranial nerves (CNs) was carefully interpreted and recorded at the nerve level, anterior and posterior subgroup level, and individual level, respectively. Chi-square test [or McNemar-Bowker (MB) test], Fisher test, and intraclass correlation analysis were used. A Results: PNS rates of the CNs in the advanced T3 to T4 stage subgroup were significantly different in evaluations performed with 3D LAVA_Flex, T2WI fs, T1WI, and T1WI ce at the patient level ( Conclusions: 3D LAVA_Flex could improve both accuracy and reliability of PNS evaluation of CNs in the advanced NPC cohort and may facilitate decision making for therapeutic strategies.
