The application of high-field magnetic resonance perfusion imaging in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
Observational study in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the world. It is a disease of insidious progression and high lethality. The present study was to investigate the diagnostic value of high-filed magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging in pancreatic cancer. Thirty-three patients with suspected pancreatic cancer were recruited in our study and underwent routine MR imaging. When compared with para-tumoral and normal tissue, the pancreatic lesions showed significant lower slope, peak enhancement (PE), and signal enhancement ratio (SER) as well as higher time to peak (TTP). Para-tumoral tissue was found to have significantly lower slope and PE, slightly higher TTP than normal tissue. MR perfusion imaging displays hemodynamic alterations in both pancreatic cancer and surrounding pancreatic tissue, and provides indirect assessment of tumor vascularity. In conclusion, high field MR perfusion imaging has important clinical significance in early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
