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

The current evidence regarding the usefulness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion MRI) in the assessment of lymphoma is reviewed. Diffusion MRI combining both anatomical and bio-physiological information is currently under investigation as a valuable tool in the oncology field including lymphoma, not only for staging but also for the assessment of response. Representative images for each purpose are shown. Diffusion MRI requires no administration of contrast medium and does not use ionizing radiation, which could be particularly advantageous for repeat follow-up surveillance in lymphoma patients. Diffusion MRI may prove to be a useful biomarker in clinical decision making for patients with lymphoma. Large-scale prospective studies are warranted to further establish its complementary value to the current standard of care, [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
