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

Background: The apparent diffusion coefficient is a parameter measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Studies in breast cancer and osteosarcoma have shown that the apparent diffusion coefficient has a good correlation with the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, to date, no studies have evaluated the association between the apparent diffusion coefficient and the preoperative chemotherapy response of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods: The data of 143 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer admitted to Zhejiang Medical and Health Group Quzhou Hospital (Zhejiang Quhua Hospital) from January 2018 to January 2019 were retrospectively collected. All the patients underwent preoperative chemotherapy and dynamic enhanced MRI to analyze the correlation between the apparent diffusion coefficient and preoperative chemotherapy response. Results: Compared to the control group, the apparent diffusion coefficient of the objective remission group was significantly increased [(1.16±0.26) ×10 Conclusions: The elevated apparent diffusion coefficient was associated with objective remission of the preoperative chemotherapy response and prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer.
