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

purposeTo correlate the overall survival (OS) with the imaging biomarkers of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and glucose metabolic activity derived from integrated fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (

methodsThis prospective study was approved by the institutional review board and informed consent was obtained from all participants. Sixty-three consecutive patients (mean age, 62.7 ± 12 y; men/women, 40/23) with pancreatic cancer underwent PET/MRI before treatment. The imaging biomarkers were comprised of DCE-MRI parameters (peak, IAUC

resultsSeventeen (27%) patients received curative surgery, with the median follow-up duration being 638 days. Univariate analysis showed that patients at a low TNM stage (≦3, P = 0.041), high peak (P = 0.006), high ADC

conclusionThe flow-metabolism mismatch reflected by the TLG/peak ratio may better predict OS than other imaging biomarkers from PET/MRI in pancreatic cancer patients.
