A simple and efficient method of preparing patients with gastric cancer for abdominal MRI examination.

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
purposeThis study aims to evaluate the advantages of administering 200 ml of 5% dextrose water in improving pre-examination training efficiency, examination efficiency, success rate, and image quality of MRI scans in patients with gastric cancer.
methodThis study included 122 gastric cancer patients who underwent upper abdominal MRI from March 2022 to March 2024. These patients were divided into two groups: a study group of which patients had 200 ml of 5% dextrose water before MRI scan (n = 59) and a control group with only routine preparations (n = 63). Group differences in the pre-examination training efficiency, examination efficiency, examination success rate and image quality of MRI scan were performed using chi-square test and T-test.
resultsWe found there were statistically significant group differences in the success rate of MRI examination (96.6% in the study group and 85.7% in the control group, P = 0.036), the average time of pre-examination training before MRI examination (7.73 ± 6.35 min in the study group and 12.03 ± 5.39 min in the control group, P = 0.001), the average completion time of MRI examination (45.22 ± 5.85 min in the study group and 50.25 ± 8.45 min in the control group, P = 0.001), the rate of excellent image quality (66.1% in the study group and 44.4% in the control group, P = 0.038), the scores of image quality (3.92 ± 0.96 in the study group and 3.13 ± 1.33 in the control group, P = 0.0006).
conclusionOur findings demonstrated that administering 200 ml of 5% glucose water before MRI examination in gastric cancer patients improved the pre-examination training efficiency, the efficiency and success rate of MRI examination and image quality, highlighting its potential to optimize the patient care in radiological examinations.
