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

purposeThe purpose of the study is to evaluate whether apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) textures could identify patient with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) who would not respond to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT).

methodTwenty-six patients who underwent MRI including diffusion-weighted imaging at a 3.0 T system before NCRT were enrolled. Texture analysis of pre-therapy ADC mapping was carried out, and a total of 133 ADC textures as well as routine mean ADC value of the primary tumor were extracted for each patient. Texture parameters and mean ADC were compared between responsive group and non-responsive group. Logistic regression was used to determine the independent predictors for non-responders. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was performed to evaluate the predictive performance of the significant parameters.

resultsEighteen of the 133 texture parameters significantly differed between responsive and non-responsive groups (p < 0.05). Further, energy variance and SdGa47 were identified as independent predictors for non-responders to NCRT; this logistic model achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.908.

conclusionTexture analysis based on pre-therapy ADC mapping could potentially be helpful to identify patients with LARC who would not respond to NCRT.
