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

The present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of pharmacokinetic parameters derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in prospective evaluation of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) grading. A total of 25 histologically proven patients with pNENs (30 lesions in total) who underwent DCE-MRI were enrolled. Lesions were divided into G1, G2 neuroendocrine tumor (NET) and G3 NET/neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) groups based on their histological findings according to 2017 World Health Organization Neuroendocrine Tumor Classification Guideline. In addition, the same numbers of tumor-free regions were selected using as normal control group. For each group, pharmacokinetic DCE parameters: volume transfer constant (
