T2*-weighted imaging and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) of rectal cancer: correlation with clinical histopathologic prognostic factors.
Article in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeHistopathologic prognostic factors of rectal cancer are closely associated with local recurrence and distant metastasis. We aim to investigate the feasibility of T2*WI in assessment of clinical prognostic factors of rectal cancer, and compare with DKI.
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 50 out of 205 patients with rectal cancer according to the inclusion criteria. The following parameters were obtained: R2* from T2*WI, mean diffusivity (MD
resultsThere were positive correlations between R2* and multiple prognostic factors of rectal cancer such as T category, N category, tumor grade, CEA level, and LVI (P < 0.004). MD
conclusionR2* and DKI-derived parameters were associated with different histopathological prognostic factors, and might act as noninvasive biomarkers for histopathological characterization of rectal cancer.
