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

MRI has become indispensable in the diagnosis and management of urologic and nephrological diseases. Technological advances over the past 2 decades-including multiparametric imaging, quantitative MRI, standardized reporting systems, deep learning-based reconstruction, and artificial intelligence (AI)-have expanded the role of MRI beyond anatomical assessment to tissue characterization, treatment planning, image-guided intervention, and therapeutic monitoring. This special issue of Magnetic Resonance in Medical Sciences comprises 7 review articles and 2 original investigations that summarize recent advances in MRI of the kidney, prostate, bladder, and upper urinary tract. Together, these contributions highlight recent advances in MRI and illustrate its evolving role as an integrated imaging platform that combines quantitative imaging, imaging biomarkers, AI, and image-guided therapy. This Editorial highlights the 7 review articles included in this special issue and provides an overview of recent advances in MRI for urologic and nephrological diseases.
