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

Patient stratification based on biological variation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) subtypes could help to improve clinical outcome. However, noninvasive assessment of the entire tumor microenvironment remains challenging. In this study, we investigate the biological basis of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE), intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), and R2*-derived magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters for the noninvasive characterization of the PDAC tumor microenvironment and evaluate their prognostic potential in PDAC patients. Patients diagnosed with treatment-naïve resectable PDAC underwent MRI. After resection, a whole-mount tumor slice was analyzed for collagen fraction, vessel density, and hypoxia and matched to the MRI parameter maps. MRI parameters were correlated to immunohistochemistry-derived tissue characteristics and evaluated for prognostic potential. Thirty patients were included of whom 21 underwent resection with whole-mount histology available in 15 patients. DCE K
