The value of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging in predicting the pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in European radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
objectiveTo explore the value of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) for the prediction of pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). MATERIAL AND
methodsForty patients with locally advanced ESCC who were treated with NAC followed by radical resection were prospectively enrolled from September 2015 to May 2018. MRI and IVIM were performed within 1 week before and 2-3 weeks after NAC, prior to surgery. Parameters including apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), true diffusion coefficient (D), pseudodiffusion coefficient (D
resultsTwenty-two patients were identified as TRG 2 (responders), and eighteen as TRG 3 (non-responders) in pathologic evaluation. The ADC, D, and f values increased significantly after NAC. The post-NAC D and ΔD values of responders were significantly higher than those of non-responders. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.722 for post-NAC D and 0.859 for ΔD in predicting pathologic response. The cutoff values of post-NAC D and ΔD were 1.685 × 10
conclusionIVIM-DWI may be used as an effective functional imaging technique to predict pathologic response to NAC in locally advanced ESCC. KEY POINTS: • The optimal cutoff values of post-NAC D and ΔD for predicting pathologic response to NAC in locally advanced ESCC were 1.685 × 10
