Predictive value of apparent diffusion coefficient for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced colorectal cancer patients.

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
Background: The efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is closely related to the long-term prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is an index in dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), reflecting the density of tumor cells. ADC has been shown to be related to the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in other malignant tumors, but there is still a lack of relevant research in CRC patients. Methods: A total of 128 patients with CRC treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2016 to January 2017 were retrospectively collected. According to the response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the patients were divided into an objective response group (n=80) and a control group (n=48). The clinical characteristics and ADC levels of the two groups were compared, and the predictive value of ADC on the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was analyzed. The patients were followed up for 5 years to observe the difference of survival rate between the two groups, and further analyzed the correlation between ADC and survival rate. Results: Compared with the control group, the tumor size in the objective response group was significantly reduced (3.32±1.60 Conclusions: ADC could be used as a predictor of the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced CRC patients.
