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

Background: Although intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) is well established in neurosurgery, its role in musculoskeletal oncology remains unclear. Purpose: To assess the feasibility and safety of iMRI in bone and soft tissue tumor surgery, focusing on giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) after denosumab. Material and Methods: Fourteen patients (12 GCTB, 1 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma [UPS], 1 chondroblastoma) underwent tumor resection with intraoperative 0.4 T MRI between 2017 and 2024. Outcomes included residual tumor detection, recurrence, and safety. Results: iMRI identified residual tumor in 7 of 12 GCTB patients (58.3%), all histologically confirmed. At a median follow-up of 42 months, recurrence occurred in one GCTB case (8.3%). iMRI guided complete resection in a femoral head chondroblastoma, enabling full functional recovery. Soft tissue assessment was limited in the UPS case. No iMRI-related complications occurred. Conclusion: iMRI is a feasible and safe adjunct in bone tumor surgery, enhancing detection of residual tumor and supporting joint-preserving procedures, particularly in GCTB after denosumab.
