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
Purpose To determine the diagnostic performance of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) to assess response to combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy (CRT) in patients with rectal cancer by using histogram analysis derived from whole-tumor volumes and single-section regions of interest (ROIs). Materials and Methods The institutional review board approved this retrospective study of 31 patients with rectal cancer who underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging before and after CRT, including diffusion-weighted imaging with 34 b values prior to surgery. Patient consent was not required. ADC, perfusion-related diffusion fraction (f), slow diffusion coefficient (D), and fast diffusion coefficient (D*) were calculated on MR images acquired before and after CRT by using biexponential fitting. ADC and IVIM histogram metrics and median values were obtained by using whole-tumor volume and single-section ROI analyses. All ADC and IVIM parameters obtained before and after CRT were compared with histopathologic findings by using t tests with Holm-Sidak correction. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to evaluate the diagnostic performance of IVIM parameters derived from whole-tumor volume and single-section ROIs for prediction of histopathologic response. Results Extreme values aside, results of histogram analysis of ADC and IVIM were equivalent to median values for tumor response assessment (P > .06). Prior to CRT, none of the median ADC and IVIM diffusion metrics correlated with subsequent tumor response (P > .36). Median D and ADC values derived from either whole-volume or single-section analysis increased significantly after CRT (P ≤ .01) and were significantly higher in good versus poor responders (P ≤ .02). Median IVIM f and D* values did not significantly change after CRT and were not associated with tumor response to CRT (P > .36). Interobserver agreement was excellent for whole-tumor volume analysis (range, 0.91-0.95) but was only moderate for single-section ROI analysis (range, 0.50-0.63). Conclusion Median D and ADC values obtained after CRT were useful for discrimination between good and poor responders. Histogram metrics did not add to the median values for assessment of tumor response. Volumetric analysis demonstrated better interobserver reproducibility when compared with single-section ROI analysis. (©) RSNA, 2016 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
