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

Purpose: This prospective study examined whether metabolism parameters obtained using the tracer Patients and methods: The 24 enrolled LA-ESCC patients underwent an Results: The SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak and SUVsd were significantly higher in patients with positive expression than in negative expression (all p < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified SUVmean (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.882, p = 0.004), SUVsd (AUC = 0.874, p = 0.005), SUVpeak (AUC = 0.840, p = 0.010) and SUVmax (AUC = 0.765, p = 0.045) as significant predictors of the PD-L1 positive expression, with cutoff values of 9.67, 1.90, 9.67 and 13.71, respectively. On univariate logistic regression analysis, SUVmean (p = 0.045), SUVsd (p = 0.024), and SUVpeak (p = 0.031) were significantly correlated with the PD-L1 positive expression. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, SUVsd (p = 0.035) was an optimum predictor factor for PD-L1 positive expression. Conclusion:
