Using amide proton transfer-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in peritumor tissue to predict parametrial infiltration of cervical cancer: a case-control study.

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: Parametrial infiltration (PMI) is an important indicator for staging and treatment of cervical cancer (CC). The potential of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) parameters of peritumor tissue in predicting PMI is still uncertain. This study aims to explore whether the APTw parameters of peritumor tissue can improve diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: Eighty-one patients with pathologic analysis-confirmed CC were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients underwent APTw MRI and DWI. The APTw values of tumor (APTw-t), APTw values in peritumor tissues (APTw-p) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were independently reviewed by two radiologists to map the regions of interest and measure the corresponding values. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to evaluate the diagnostic performance of these quantitative parameters. Results: The study patients were divided into the PMI group (n=22) and non-PMI group (n=59). The APTw-t and APTw-p values (%) of PMI group were higher than those of the non-PMI group [3.71 (interquartile range, IQR, 3.60-3.98) and 2.75 (IQR, 2.68-2.77) Conclusions: APTw in peritumor tissues, combined with ADC value can be used to efficiently distinguish PMI of CC.
