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

The repeatability of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) during radiotherapy for rectal cancer on a 1.5 T MR-linac was investigated by acquiring two sequential diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences at each fraction. In 109 treatment sessions involving 22 patients, tumors were separately delineated on the b500 images. ADC maps were generated with all b-values (0, 30, 150, and 500 s/mm
