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

backgroundTo explore the value of the quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) parameters in assessing preoperative extramural venous invasion (EMVI) in rectal cancer.

methodsEighty-two rectal adenocarcinoma patients who had underwent MRI preoperatively were enrolled in this study. The differences in quantitative DCE-MRI and DWI parameters including Krans, Kep and ADC values were analyzed between MR-detected EMVI (mrEMVI)-positive and -negative groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to build the combined prediction model for pathologic EMVI (pEMVI) with statistically significant quantitative parameters. The performance of the model for predicting pEMVI was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

resultsOf the 82 patients, 24 were mrEMVI-positive and 58 were -negative. In the mrEMVI positive group, the Ktrans and Kep values were significantly higher than those in the mrEMVI negative group (P < 0.01), but the ADC values were significantly lower (P < 0.01). A negative correlation was observed between the Ktrans vs ADC values and Kep vs ADC values in patients with rectal cancer. Among the four quantitative parameters, Ktrans and ADC value were independently associated with mrEMVI by multivariate logistic regression analysis. ROC analysis showed that combined prediction model based on quantitative DCE parameters and ADC values had a good prediction efficiency for pEMVI in rectal cancer.

conclusionThe quantitative DCE-MRI parameters, Krans, Kep and ADC values play important role in predicting EMVI of rectal cancer, with Ktrans and ADC value being independent predictors of EMVI in rectal cancer.
