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

backgroundTo investigate the values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for the treatment response evaluation in pancreatic cancer (PC) patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy (NAT).

methodsThis study included 103 NAT patients with histologically proven PC. ADC maps were generated using monoexponential diffusion-weighted imaging (b values: 50, 800 s/mm

resultsThe minimum, maximum, and mean ADC values all increased dramatically after NAT, rising from 23.4 to 25.4% (all p < 0.001): mean (average: 1.626 × 10

conclusionsThe ADC values of PC increased significantly following NAT; however, the percentage increases failed to provide any predictive value for the resection margin status or TRG levels.
