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 purpose of this work is to explore the potential contribution of diffusion MRI to predict the effects of irreversible electroporation (IRE) in a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) mouse model. Thirteen mice were injected with Panc-02 PDAC cells in both flanks. One tumor was treated with IRE when it reached a diameter of about 5 mm. T2- and diffusion-weighted MRI sequences were acquired before IRE treatment and 1, 3 and 7 days later. The mice were euthanized 1 day (n = 6) or 2 weeks (n = 7) after treatment. The tumors were excised and stained with H&E, caspase-3, CD-3, F4/80. The volume and the mean and standard deviation of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were compared between treated and untreated lesions and correlated with histology-derived measures. At 1-day post-treatment, a dramatic ADC increase (+50.81%,
