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

objectiveTo elucidate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics for distinguishing solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) from desmoid tumors (DTs). MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective study of 66 consecutive patients with histopathologically proven SFT (n = 34; 13 males and 21 females; mean age, 52.0 ± 17.1 years) or DT (n = 32; 11 males and 21 females; mean age, 39.0 ± 21.3 years) was conducted. The two groups were quantitatively compared in terms of the size, signal intensity ratio (SIR), and apparent diffusion coefficient value. For qualitative analysis, the tumor location, boundary, shape, internal uniformity, predominant signal intensity, T1-weighted images (T1WI) characteristics (hyperintense area), T2-weighted images (T2WI) characteristics (hypointense area, marked hyperintense area, flow void, band sign, and yin-yang sign), and contrast-enhanced T1WI characteristics (unenhanced area and degree of enhancement) were compared between the two groups. Multiple stepwise logistic regression analyses were conducted to distinguish between the SFT and DT.

resultsT1 (

conclusionMRI characteristics can help distinguish SFT from DT. The presence of a hyperintense area relative to the skeletal muscle on T1WI in SFTs and the band sign on T2WI in DTs are important MRI features.
