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

objectivesTo evaluate the potential value of MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 73 patients with NSCLC who underwent integrated

resultsPET-derived parameters (SUVmax, MTV, TLG) and IVIM, DKI MRI-derived parameters (ADCstand, D, MK, MD) were significantly different between patients with and without LVI (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MTV and D were independent predictors of LVI, and the combined prediction model of the two parameters had the highest predictive value for the diagnosis of LVI (AUC = 0.841; sensitivity = 63.83%; specificity = 92.31%).

conclusionThe present study demonstrates that IVIM, DKI, and PET can be utilized to evaluate LVI status in NSCLC, with the combined diagnostic approach of MTV and D showing the highest diagnostic performance, which may provide a novel reference for clinical management. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The performance of metabolic parameters and diffusion parameters in the identification of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is similar, but the combination of metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and true diffusion coefficient (D) may improve the diagnostic efficacy. KEY POINTS: A multimodal PET-MRI model evaluates lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Metabolic and diffusion parameters have similar efficacy in predicting LVI in NSCLC. The combined metabolic tumor volume and true diffusion coefficient prediction model is the most valuable.
