Semi-Automatic Volumetric and Standard Three-Dimensional Measurements for Primary Tumor Evaluation and Response to Treatment Assessment in Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma.

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
Current prognostic classification of rhabdomyosarcoma in children requires precise measurements of the tumor. The purpose of the study was to compare the standard three-dimensional (3D) measurements with semi-automatic tumor volume measurement method concerning assessment of the primary tumor size and the degree of response to treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma in children. Magnetic Resonance Imaging data on 31 children with treated rhabdomyosarcoma based on the Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studiengruppe (CWS) guidance was evaluated. Tumor sizes were measured by two methods: 3D standard measurements and semi-automatic tumor volume measurement (VOI) at diagnosis, and after 9 and 17/18 weeks of the induction chemotherapy. Response to treatment and prediction values were assessed. The tumor volume medians calculated using VOI were significantly higher in comparison with those calculated using the 3D method both during the diagnosis as well as after 9 weeks of the chemotherapy and during the 17-18th week of the treatment. The volume measurements based on the generalized estimating equations on the VOI method were significantly better than the 3D method (
