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

objectiveThis study was conducted to examine relationships of pretreatment volume-based quantitative MATERIALS AND

methodsData for 71 patients with FDG-avid MPeM who underwent pretreatment

resultsEnrolled patients underwent follow-up for a mean period of 27.6 months (range 2.1-161.2 months, median 18.9 months), during which 49 (69.0%) died. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and log-rank testing indicated that those with high SUVmax (≥ 6.9), WB MTV (≥ 60), or WB TLG (≥ 230) had a significantly lower OS rate than patients with a low rate (< 6.9, < 60, < 230; p = 0.0002, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, respectively). Univariate analysis of all patients indicated an association of diffuse peritoneal disease form (p = 0.022), high level SUVmax (p = 0.0002), WB MTV (p < 0.0001), or WB TLG (p < 0.0001) level, extra-abdominal metastasis (p = 0.079) and treatment regimen (p = 0.058) with significantly shorter OS. Additionally, multivariate analysis results confirmed high WB MTV as an independent negative predictor (hazard ratio 2.51, 95% confidence interval 0.72-13.45; p = 0.039).
