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

objectivesTo investigate if intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MR imaging can predict the tumour-stroma ratio (TSR) in patients with early cervical carcinoma.

methodsFifty-four patients with early cervical carcinoma were prospectively enrolled into this study. All patients underwent IVIM imaging and parameters including D, D* and f value were measured. The tumours were classified into stroma-rich and stroma-poor group according to TSR, and comparisons of IVIM parameters between two groups were performed. The relationships between IVIM parameters and TSR were analysed by using a multivariate multi-regression analysis.

resultsD and f values were significantly lower in stroma-poor tumours than in stroma-rich tumours (p=0.02, 0.04), while the difference in D* value between two groups didn't achieve statistical significance (p=0.09). The areas under ROC curves of D and f values in discriminating stroma-rich and stroma-poor tumours were 0.835 (95%CI=0.616~0.905) and 0.686 (95%CI=0.575~0.798). In multiple linear regression analysis, D value, pathologic type, histologic grade, tumour size and f value were independently correlated with TSR of cervical carcinoma.

conclusionsD and f values are independently correlated with TSR of cervical carcinoma and have the potential for quantitative measurement of TSR. KEY POINTS: • TSR is a recognized independent prognostic factor in many solid tumours. • D and f values measured by IVIM MRI are independently correlated with TSR while D* is not. • IVIM offers the potential to predict TSR.
