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

Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) quantitative parameters in acute radiation-induced rectal injury (RRI) among patients with rectal cancer. Methods: This retrospective study included patients confirmed to rectal cancer who underwent rectal MRI (including a DCE-MRI sequence) and endoscopy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy from November 2014 to July 2022. The enrolled patients were divided into an acute RRI group and a non-acute RRI group based on Vienna rectoscopy score. Two radiologists independently measured DCE-MRI quantitative parameters (including the forward volume transfer constant [ Results: Forty-nine patients (median age, 58 years; interquartile range, 14 years; 34 men) were enrolled, 28 of whom were in the acute RRI group. Conclusion:
