Quantitative evaluation for preoperative clinical stage of colorectal cancer using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe management of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) mainly lies on the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique as a diagnostic tool for both staging and restaging.
aimTo explore the preoperative value of quantitative parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in evaluating clinical stages of CRC.
methodsA total of 86 CRC patients undergoing DCE-MRI examinations were included and then classified into CRC group (
resultsThe CRC group had 9 cases with tumor in the upper segment, 21 cases in the middle segment, 16 in the low segment, 10 cases with well differentiation, 27 cases with moderate differentiation, and 9 cases with poor differentiation. The Ktrans, Kep, and Ve in the CRC group were higher than those in the benign tumor group (
conclusionThe study suggests that the values of Ktrans, Kep and Ve of DCE-MRI exhibit good performance in diagnosing CRC and preoperative assessment of clinical stages. However, relatively small sample size should be considered for data interpretation.
