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

Multiparametric Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WB-MRI) may enhance bone metastasis detection in metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients. We report preliminary results from a prospective clinical trial investigating WB-MRI utility in BC patients with bone-predominant lesions, equivocal imaging findings or oligometastatic disease (OMD). Fifty-nine consecutive patients underwent baseline staging with standard imaging techniques (SIT), followed by WB-MRI. WB-MRI led to treatment-plan modifications in 40% of cases; 83% of lobular carcinoma cases exhibited additional metastases on WB-MRI. Among the 23 patients who underwent at least one reassessment by WB-MRI and SIT, the concordance rate was 69.6%. Among 18 OMD patients, WB-MRI led to the redefinition of the disease status in 44.4% of cases. These findings underscore the value of WB-MRI in BC.
