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

Purpose To compare Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 with volumetric measurement in the setting of target lymph nodes that split into two or more nodes or merge into one conglomerate node. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, target lymph nodes were evaluated on CT scans from 166 patients with different types of cancer; 158 of the scans came from The Cancer Imaging Archive. Each target node was measured using RECIST 1.1 criteria before and after merging or splitting, followed by volumetric segmentation. To compare RECIST 1.1 with volume, a single-dimension hypothetical diameter (HD) was determined from the nodal volume. The nodes were divided into three groups:
