Renal cell carcinoma: preoperative evaluate the grade of histological malignancy using volumetric histogram analysis derived from magnetic resonance diffusion kurtosis imaging.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
backgroundTo investigate the value of histogram analysis of magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in the assessment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) grading before surgery.
methodsA total of 73 RCC patients who had undergone preoperative MR imaging and DKI were classified into either a low- grade group or a high-grade group. Parametric DKI maps of each tumor were obtained using in-house software, and histogram metrics between the two groups were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used for obtaining the optimum diagnostic thresholds, the area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the parameters.
resultsSignificant differences were observed in 3 metrics of ADC histogram parameters and 8 metrics of DKI histogram parameters (P<0.05). ROC curve analyses showed that K
conclusionsDKI histogram parameters can effectively distinguish high- and low- grade RCC. K
