Comparative study of conventional ROI-based and volumetric histogram analysis derived from CT enhancement in differentiating malignant and benign renal tumors.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 quantitatively compare the diagnostic values of conventional region of interest (ROI)-based and volumetric histogram analysis derived from CT enhancement in differentiating malignant and benign renal tumors.
methodsA total of 230 patients with pathologically confirmed renal tumors who had undergone CT enhancement were classified into clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) (
resultsThe entropy and SD values of ccRCCs were higher than those of non-ccRCCs and benign renal tumors (
conclusionVolumetric histogram analysis parameters can effectively distinguish malignant and benign renal tumors. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: 1. Entropy and mean values had the highest diagnostic efficacy in differentiating ccRCCs/ non-ccRCCs and benign renal tumors.2. Mean values had the highest diagnostic efficacy in differentiating ccRCCs and non-ccRCCs.3.Volumetric histogram analysis had better performance than ROI-based enhancement density.
