Higher perfusion of rectum carcinoma relative to tumor-free rectal wall: quantification by a new imaging biomarker diffusion-derived vessel density (DDVD).
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Background: Diffusion-derived vessel density (DDVD) is a physiological surrogate of the area of micro-vessels per unit tissue area. DDVD is calculated according to: DDVD(b0b5) = Sb0/ROIarea0 - Sb5/ROIarea5, where Sb0 and Sb5 refer to the tissue signal when Methods: MRI was performed with a 3.0-T magnet. Diffusion weighted image with Results: The median value of the DDVDr(b0b5) for non-mucinous RCs was 1.430, with the majority of RCs showing a higher DDVD than the adjacent tumor-free wall [i.e., with DDVDr(b0b5) >1]. 90.3% (102/113) of non-mucinous RCs were hypervascular, 1.77% (2/113) were iso-vascular, and 7.96% (9/113) were hypovascular. The median value of the DDVDr(b0b5) for mucinous RCs was 1.660. 73.3% (11/15) of mucinous RCs were hypervascular, and 26.7% (4/15) were hypovascular. A trend (P=0.09) was noted that earlier clinical grades non-mucinous RCs had a higher DDVDr(b0b5) than those of the advanced clinical grades (2.245 for grade 0&I, 1.460 for grade II, 1.430 for grade III, 1.130 for grade IV). A non-significant trend was noted with well and moderately differentiated non-mucinous RCs had a higher DDVDr(b0b5)than that of poorly differentiated non-mucinous RCs (median: 1.460 Conclusions: DDVD results in this study approximately agree with contrast agent dynamically enhanced CT literature data.
