Pre-treatment amide proton transfer imaging predicts treatment outcome in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Article in European radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the value of pre-treatment amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging for predicting survival of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MATERIALS AND
methodsPre-treatment APTw imaging was performed in 77 NPC patients and the mean, 90th percentile, skewness, and kurtosis of APT asymmetry (APT
resultsLocoregional relapse, distant metastases, and disease relapse occurred in 14/77 (18%), 10/77 (13%), and 20/77 (26%) patients, respectively, at a median follow-up of 48.3 (10.6-67.4) months. Univariable analysis showed significant associations of LRRFS with APT
conclusionAPTw imaging may potentially predict survival in patients with NPC. KEY POINTS: • APTw imaging may provide new markers to predict survival in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. • APT
