Preoperative risk assessment of endometrial cancer using histogram analysis of weighted and quantitative MRI images.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of histogram analysis of weighted and quantitative MRI images to improve preoperative endometrial cancer (EC) risk stratification by providing information about the histological properties of the tumours.
methodsIn this prospective study, 94 patients with biopsy verified endometrial carcinoma underwent a preoperative MRI examination performed according to the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines with addition of synthetic MRI, dynamic contrast enhancement and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with high b-values. Quantitative relaxation maps, perfusion maps and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) maps were generated from the additional sequences. Tumours were segmented on three adjacent slices and histogram properties were compared between tumours with low and high histological risk.
resultsSignificant differences were found between tumours with low and high histological risk in the histogram properties for the DKI derived apparent diffusion maps (D
conclusionHistogram analysis of DKI shows better potential to discriminate between EC histological risk groups and histologically determined endometrioid tumour grades than regular DWI, relaxation maps from synthetic MR, perfusion maps and T1 or T2 weighted images.
