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

The aim of this review is to provide an update on the imaging triage, safety considerations, and cancer-imaging features of common and uncommon gynecological tumors during pregnancy. Clinical examination can be inconclusive, especially for the evaluation of intra-abdominal diseases since symptoms related to cancer such as fatigue, vomiting, or nausea overlap with common pregnancy-associated symptoms. Delayed pregnancy, advanced maternal age, and improvements in diagnostic imaging in developed countries have increased the incidence of cancer diagnosis in gravid populations. Non-invasive diagnostic imaging has a central role in the initial diagnosis and management of pregnancy tumors. Sonography is the first modality for the abdominal evaluation of gravid patients because it is widely available, low cost, and lacks adverse effects on the mother and fetus. MR imaging is considered the imaging modality of choice for diagnosis and staging of gynecologic cancer during pregnancy due to its larger imaging field of view, better reproducibility, and excellent soft tissue contrast. Moreover, whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been proposed for the oncologic staging of pregnant patients; however, large prospective studies are needed to support its clinical implementation. Gynecological cancer diagnosed during pregnancy requires accurate diagnosis and staging to determine optimal treatment based on gestational age, and therefore multidisciplinary team collaboration is pivotal.
