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

Since the introduction of the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS), MRI has become an important imaging modality in the management of patients with bladder cancer. Its excellent diagnostic performance for determining muscle invasion in bladder cancer has been supported by numerous prospective and retrospective studies. Nevertheless, there needs to be continued improvement of the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS and sustained efforts to address remaining unmet clinical needs within the field of bladder cancer. In this paper, we highlight several such areas, some of which are actively being investigated. These include (1) whether to use intravenous contrast media or not (multiparametric vs. biparametric MRI), (2) quantitative metrics to enhance assessment of muscle invasion, (3) anatomic locations that come with pitfalls in staging, (4) introduction of bladder MRI image quality, (5) neoadjuvant chemotherapy VI-RADS (nacVI-RADS) and other considerations needed in the treatment response assessment after systemic therapies, (6) need for wider adoption, training, and implementation, and (7) application of artificial intelligence.
