Histogram analysis of DCE-MRI for chemoradiotherapy response evaluation in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
aimsThe aim of the study was to predict and assess treatment response by histogram analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving chemoradiotherapy (CRT). MATERIALS AND
methodsSeventy-two patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent DCE-MRI before and after chemoradiotherapy were enrolled and divided into the complete response (CR) group and the non-CR group based on RECIST. The histogram parameters (10th percentile, 90th percentile, median, mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis) of pre-CRT and post-CRT were compared using a paired Student's t test in the CR and non-CR groups, respectively. The histogram parameter differences between the CR and the non-CR groups were compared using an unpaired Student's t test. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance.
