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

introductionMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is emerging as a powerful tool in the evaluation and management of cervical cancer. The role of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) with Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) as a non-invasive imaging biomarker is promising in characterization of the tumour and prediction of response.

aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the role of conventional MRI and diffusion weighted MRI in predicting clinicopathological prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective study. The data of 100 cervical cancer patients who had MRI with DWI was retrieved from the database and analysed. Clinico pathological details were collected from the computerized hospital information system. SPSS version 15.0 was used for statistical analysis.

resultsThe mean tumour dimensions on MRI in x, y and z axes were 43.04 mm (±13.93, range: 17-85), 37.05mm (±11.83, range: 9-80) and 39.63 mm (±14.81, range: 14 -76). The mean T

conclusionHigher ADC values are associated with favourable histology and differentiation. Adenocarcinomas have higher ADC values followed by adenosquamous followed by squamous cell carcinomas. Well differentiated tumours had higher ADC values than moderately followed by poorly differentiated tumours. DWI with ADC have a potential role as an imaging biomarker for prognostication and needs further studies for routine clinical applications.
