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

The purpose of this study was to analyze associations between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and standardized uptake values (SUV) values and different histopathological parameters in uterine cervical cancer. 21 patients with primary uterine cervical cancer were involved into the study. All patients underwent a whole body simultaneous18F-FDG PET/MRI. Mean and maximum SUV were noted (SUVmean and SUVmax). In all tumors minimal, mean, and maximal ADC values (ADCmin, ADCmean, and ADCmax) were estimated. Combined parameters were calculated: SUVmax/SUVmean, ADCmin/ ADCmean, SUVmax/ADCmin and SUVmax/ADCmean. In all cases the diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically by tumor biopsy. Histological slices were stained by hematoxilin and eosin, MIB 1 monoclonal antibody, and p16. All histopathological images were digitalized and analyzed by using a ImageJ software 1.48v. The following parameters were estimated: cell count, proliferation index KI 67, total and average nucleic areas, epithelial and stromal areas. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to analyze associations between ADC and SUV values and histological parameters. P values ≤ 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. ADCmin and ADCmin/ ADCmean were statistically significant lower in N positive tumors. KI 67 correlated statistically significant with SUVmax (r = 0.59, p = 0.005), SUVmean (0.45, p = 0.04), ADCmin (r = -0.48, p = 0.03), SUVmax/ADCmin (r = 0.71, p = 0.001), SUVmax/ADCmean (0.75, p = 0.001). SUVmax correlated well with epithelial area (r = 0.71, p = 0.001) and stromal areas (r = -0.71, p = 0.001). SUV values, ADCmin, SUVmax/ADCmin and SUVmax/ADCmean correlated statistically significant with KI 67 and can be used to estimate the proliferation potential of tumors. SUV values correlated strong with epithelial area of tumor reflected metabolic active areas.
