Improvement in the Assessment of Response to Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy for Rectal Cancer Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging and a Multigene Biomarker.
Article in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (PCRT) is correlated with oncologic outcomes in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Accurate prediction of PCRT response before surgery can provide crucial information to aid clinicians in further treatment planning. This study aimed to develop an evaluation tool incorporating a genetic biomarker and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve the assessment of response in post-CRT patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. A total of 198 patients who underwent PCRT followed by surgical resection for locally advanced rectal cancer between 2010 and 2016 were included in this study. Each patient's response prediction index (RPI) score, a multigene biomarker developed in our previous study, and magnetic resonance tumor regression grade (mrTRG) score were added to create a new predictive value for pathologic response after PCRT, called the combined radiation prediction value (cRPV). Based on the new value, 121 and 77 patients were predicted to be good and poor responders, respectively, showing significantly different cRPV values (
