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

purposeThe aim of this study was to explore possible correlations among different imaging features from 2-deoxy-2-[ PROCEDURES: RC patients who underwent PET/MRI were enrolled. A region of interest (ROI) was drawn around each primary RC on PET/MRI images (PET, pelvic axial T2w, and apparent diffusion coefficient maps (ADC)). Multiple imaging features were assessed, and Pearson's correlation was used to explore possible correlations among them.

resultsA total of 13 patients were included, mean age 56.1 years old, 6 females. A strong inverse correlation was observed between SUVpeak and ADCmean values, MTV and T2 sphericity, MTV and ADC sphericity, MTV and T2 entropy, and TLG and ADC sphericity. There was also strong direct correlation between PET entropy and ADC sphericity.

conclusionsIn conclusion, several clinically relevant correlations were observed between PET and MRI imaging features. These findings show how the use of both modalities provides complementary information.
