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

objectivesThe aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of survival outcomes with imaging biomarkers from multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with brain metastases from breast cancer (BMBC).

methodsThis study was approved by the institutional review board. Twenty-two patients with BMBC who underwent treatment involving bevacizumab on day 1, etoposide on days 2-4, and cisplatin on day 2 in 21-day cycles were prospectively enrolled for a phase II study. Three brain MRIs were performed: before the treatment, on day 1, and on day 21. Eight imaging biomarkers were derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (Peak, IAUC

resultsThere were no significant differences in the survival outcomes as per the changes in the biomarkers on day 1. On day 21, those with a low ΔK

conclusionsMultiparametric MRI may help predict the survival outcomes in patients with BMBC. KEY POINTS: • Decreased angiogenesis after chemotherapy on day 21 indicated good survival outcome. • ΔK
