MRI of soft tissue tumours: a structured "8S framework" aligned with WHO 2020 classification.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Soft tissue tumours (STTs) encompass a wide spectrum of benign, intermediate, and malignant lesions, often posing significant diagnostic and management challenges. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers excellent soft tissue characterization, but non-specific clinical presentation, overlapping MRI features, and wide histological variability of soft tissue tumours limit the predictive value of MRI. This review article presents a novel 8S framework that integrates MRI features of morphology, function, and biological aggressiveness to enhance diagnostic precision and risk stratification. The approach evaluates Site, Size, Shape/Surface, Signal, Surroundings, Sequence behaviour, Surgical assistance, and Satellites/Skips detailing tumour anatomy and internal structure while focusing on biological aggressiveness, incorporating dynamic contrast enhancement, diffusion characteristics, and patterns of local invasion as well as metastatic potential. The framework represents a clinically actionable MRI strategy. By aligning the 8S framework with the 2020 WHO soft tissue tumour classification, this approach enables differentiation of benign, locally aggressive, and high-grade malignant tumours, guiding biopsy, surgical planning, and prognosis.
