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
Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bp-MRI) combined with tumor contact length (TCL) for identifying muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) among lesions scored 3 on the vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS). Materials and Methods: This single-center retrospective study enrolled patients with pathologically confirmed bladder urothelial carcinoma and a preoperative VI-RADS overall score of 3 (October 2022-October 2025). Two radiologists independently assessed biparametric VI-RADS score and TCL. Inter-observer agreement was evaluated. Based on the postoperative pathology, patients were divided into nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and MIBC groups. Diagnostic performance of individual indicators and combined models (logistic regression and clinical rule) was assessed using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Bootstrap validation (1000 resamples) was performed. Results: One hundred and three patients (46 NMIBC, 57 MIBC) were included. Inter-observer agreement was excellent for biparametric VI-RADS (weighted Kappa = 0.82) and TCL (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.91). TCL and biparametric score was significantly higher in the MIBC group (both Conclusion: Integrating TCL with biparametric VI-RADS score improved the diagnostic accuracy for muscle invasion in VI-RADS 3 lesions. The simple clinical rule (TCL ≤2.5 cm downgrades the score to 2) showed promising efficacy and may assist in preliminary decision-making, pending external validation.
