The clinical value of applying diffusion-weighted imaging combined with T2-weighted imaging to assess diagnostic performance of muscularis propria invasion in mid-to-high rectal cancer.
Review in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of combining diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) for detecting muscularis propria invasion in rectal cancer.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of MR images from 76 patients with pathologically confirmed rectal cancer between January 2018 and June 2022. Patients were categorized into invasion and non-invasion groups. the present of muscularis propria invasion. The examination regimen included T2WI, dynamic enhanced scanning and DWI.The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from DWI were compared between the groups, and the diagnostic performance of combining ADC with T2WI was assessed.
resultsThere were differences in ADCmean, ADCmsi, and ADCmin values between the non-invasion group and theinvasion group, and the t values were 3.949, 2.221 and 2.978, respectively. The P values were 0.000, 0.029 and 0.004, respectively. Using an ADC
conclusionT2WI combined ADC value has a good predictive value for judging the degree of musculature invasion of medium-to-high rectal cancer, while ADC mean has a higher comprehensive diagnostic efficiency. Our finding may provide reference for increasing accuracy in mid-to-high rectal cancer diagnosis.
