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

backgroundRestricted spectrum imaging (RSI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) provide comprehensive characterization of tumor microstructural features; however, the clinical utility for evaluating lymph node metastasis (LNM) in cervical cancer (CC) warrants further investigation.

methodsA total of 71 CC patients were enrolled, including 30 with negative LNM and 41 with positive LNM, all of whom underwent pelvic MRI examination. Chi-square tests, independent sample t tests, and Mann‒Whitney U tests were employed to calculate and compare histogram parameters from the DKI (D, K) and RSI (f

resultsCompared with the LNM-positive group, the LNM-negative group had higher D

conclusionDKI and RSI, along with their corresponding histogram parameters, demonstrate outstanding potential for predicting LNM in CC patients. Moreover, the combination of maximum diameter, maximum diameter and DKI_D
