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

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is one of the most commonly used chemotherapies for treatment of solid tumours, including colorectal cancer. The efficacy of treatment is dependent on tumour type and can only be determined six weeks after beginning chemotherapy, with only 40-50% of patients responding positively to the 5-FU therapy. In this paper, we demonstrate the potential of using Magnetic Resonance (MR) Chemical Shift Imaging (CSI) for in-vivo monitoring of 5-FU tumor-retention in two different colorectal tumour types (HT-29 & H-508). Time curves for 5-FU signals from the liver and bladder were also acquired. We observed significant differences (p < 0.01) in 5-FU signal time dependencies for the HT-29 and H-508 tumours. Retention of 5-FU occurred in the H-508 tumour, whereas the HT-29 tumour is not expected to retain 5FU due to the observation of the negative b time constant indicating a decline in 5FU within the tumour. This study successfully demonstrates that CSI may be a useful tool for early identification of 5-FU responsive tumours based on observed tumour retention of the 5-FU.
