Application value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography for imaging determination of metastatic lymph nodes of gastric cancer.

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
aimTo evaluate the application value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) for imaging determination of metastatic lymph nodes of gastric cancer and to explore reasonable diagnostic criteria.
methodsSixty patients with gastric cancer underwent 64 MSCT scans before operation. Gastric cancer samples and perigastric lymph nodes were obtained after operation, formalin fixation and haematoxylin-eosin staining. The metastatic conditions of gastric cancer and perigastric lymph nodes were determined under a light microscope. A total of 605 lymph nodes were grouped and assessed according to distribution, size, shape and degree of lymph node enhancement. Then, the findings were compared with the postoperative pathological results.
resultsAmong 605 lymph nodes, 358 were confirmed as metastatic, accounting for 59.2%. A total of 535 lymph nodes were detected in original axis images combined with multiplanar reconstruction images of MSCT. The metastatic lymph nodes had specific signs in computed tomography. This study showed that the long diameter of lymph nodes ≥ 8 mm indicated metastasis; the sensitivity and specificity were 79.6% and 78.8%, respectively. The difference of the mean value of lymph node enhancement density ≥ 80 Hu indicated metastasis; the sensitivity and specificity were 81.6% and 75.6%, respectively. The ratio of short diameter to long diameter of lymph nodes ≥ 0.7 indicated metastasis; the sensitivity and specificity were 85.6% and 71.8%, respectively.
conclusionMSCT is a non-invasive and reliable method for preoperative examination of gastric cancer. Sensitivity and specificity for prediction of lymph node metastasis are high.
