Differentiating rectal cancer grades using virtual magnetic resonance elastography and fractional order calculus diffusion model.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundTo investigate the value of virtual magnetic resonance elastography (vMRE), fractional order calculus (FROC) model, and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating rectal cancer grades.
methodsThis prospective study included 74 patients with rectal cancer who underwent a pelvic MRI. The Mann-Whitney U test or independent samples t-test was employed to compare the parameters of vMRE (µ
resultsCompared to the low-grade group, the high-grade group had higher µ
conclusionFROC, vMRE, and DWI can be utilized for assessing rectal cancer grades, with FROC offering comparatively better diagnostic performance.
