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

backgroundTexture analysis in oncological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may yield surrogate markers for tumor differentiation and staging, both of which are important factors in the treatment planning for cervical cancer. PURPOSE: To identify texture features which may predict tumor differentiation and nodal status in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of cervical carcinoma. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwenty-three patients were enrolled in this prospective, institutional review board (IRB)-approved study. Pelvic MRI was performed at 3-T including a DWI echo-planar sequence with b-values 40, 300, and 800 s/mm

resultsMean age was 55 years (range = 37-78 years). Biopsy revealed two well-differentiated, eight moderately differentiated, two moderately to poorly differentiated tumors, and five poorly differentiated tumors. Six tumors could not be graded. Lymph nodes were involved in 11 patients. Three GLM features correlated with the differentiation: LRHGE (ϱ = 0.53,

conclusionWe identified potentially predictive GLM features for histological tumor differentiation and histogram features for nodal cancer stage.
