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: To evaluate the predictive capability of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) at initial diagnosis in treatment-naive patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) for the development of future metastases. Material and methods: Magnetic resonance images of patients with pathologically proven non-metastatic, treatmentnaive LSCC were retrospectively evaluated. Follow-up positron emission tomography scans were assessed for the scanning of metastases. Results: A total of 37 patients (32 males and 5 females) with a mean age of 62.8 ± 8.9 years were enrolled. Mean tumour volume and ADC were 4.8 ± 62 cm Conclusions: Pre-treatment ADC values and volume of the initial tumour might provide early information about the development of future metastases in patients with LSCC in this series.
