Therapy response with diffusion MRI: an update.
Review in Cancer imaging : the official publication of the International Cancer Imaging Society, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The efficiency of an oncological treatment regimen is often assessed by morphological criteria such as tumour size evaluated by cross-sectional imaging, or by laboratory measurements of plasma biomarkers. Because these types of measures typically allow for assessment of treatment response several weeks or even months after the start of therapy, earlier response assessment that provides insight into tumour function is needed. This is particularly urgent for the evaluation of newer targeted therapies and for fractionated therapies that are delivered over a period of weeks to allow for a change of treatment in non-responding patients. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is a non-invasive imaging tool that does not involve radiation or contrast media, and is sensitive to tissue microstructure and function on a cellular level. DW-MRI parameters have shown sensitivity to treatment response in a growing number of tumour types and organ sites, with additional potential as predictive parameters for treatment outcome. A brief overview of DW-MRI principles is provided here, followed by a review of recent literature in which DW-MRI has been used to monitor and predict tumour response to various therapeutic regimens.
