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

Prostate cancer diagnosis using fast spin-echo (FSE) T2-weight imaging (T2WI) suffers from motion artifacts (T2-MA). We aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with T2-MA. We retrospectively analyzed the basic patient information and localizer images of 168 patients who underwent prostate magnetic resonance imaging at our institution between April 2019 and December 2021. FSE T2WI image quality was classified into Poor, Acceptable, and Excellent groups based on T2-MA severity. Between-group differences were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, and multinomial logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for T2-MA. The bladder area of the Acceptable group was significantly larger than that of the Poor group (P = 0.010). The rectal area was significantly larger in the Poor group than in the Excellent group (P = 0.013). Larger rectal and bladder areas in the localizer image were significant risk factors for severe (OR: 1.136) and mild (OR: 1.032) T2-MA, respectively.
