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

A cervical carcinoma allograft model was designed to assess the correlation between early changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in tumors. BALB/c mice with U14 tumor allografts on the right rear flank were irradiated with a single 20 Gy dose. All tumor-bearing mice were subjected to DW-MRI, followed by calculation of the ADC values and characterization of the T1 and T2 relaxation time constants. Pre- and post-irradiation ADC values were compared with the tumor volume, and the immunohistochemical staining of MMP-9 and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of tumor allografts. However, no correlations between the pre-treatment ADC values and changes in tumor volumes following irradiation were observed. Notably, the mean ADC value was significantly higher in the irradiated tumors (0.756±0.102×10
