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

backgroundTo determine whether magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features combined with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values could be used as a tool for categorizing ovarian epithelial cancer (OEC) and predicting survival, as well as correlating with laboratory tests (serum cancer antigen 125, serum CA-125) and tumor proliferative index (Ki-67 expression). METHODS AND MATERIALS: MRI examination was undertaken before invasive procedures. MRI features were interpreted and recorded on the picture archive communication system (PACS). ADC measurements were manually performed on post-process workstation. Clinical characteristics were individually retrieved and recorded through the hospital information system (HIS). Cox hazard model was used to estimate the effects of both clinical and MRI features on overall survival.

resultsBoth clinical and MRI features differed significantly between Type I and Type II cancer groups (p < 0.05). The mean ADC value was inversely correlated with Ki-67 expression in Type I cancer (ρ = - 0.14, p < 0.05). A higher mean ADC value was more likely to suggest Type I ovarian cancer (Odds Ratio (OR) = 16.80, p < 0.01). Old age and an advanced International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage were significantly related to Type II ovarian cancer (OR = 0.22/0.02, p < 0.05). An advanced FIGO stage, solid components, and old age were significantly associated with poor survival (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 23.54/3.69/2.46, p < 0.05). Clear cell cancer type had a poorer survival than any other pathological subtypes of ovarian cancer (HR = 13.6, p < 0.01).

conclusionsMR imaging features combined with ADC value are helpful in categorizing OEC. ADC values can reflect tumor proliferative ability. A solid mass may predict poor prognosis for OEC patients.
