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

objectivesWe evaluated the combined use of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and time-signal intensity curve (TIC) analyses to diagnose head and neck tumours.

methodsWe compared perfusion-related parameters (PP) and molecular diffusion values (D) determined from IVIM theory and TIC profiles among 92 tumours with different histologies.

resultsIVIM parameters (f and D values) and TIC profiles in combination were distinct among the different types of head and neck tumours, including squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), lymphomas, malignant salivary gland tumours, Warthin's tumours, pleomorphic adenomas and schwannomas. A multiparametric approach using both IVIM parameters and TIC profiles differentiated between benign and malignant tumours with 97 % accuracy and diagnosed different tumour types with 89 % accuracy.

conclusionsCombined use of IVIM parameters and TIC profiles has high efficacy in diagnosing head and neck tumours. KEY POINTS: • Head and neck tumours have wide MR perfusion/diffusion properties. • Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR imaging can characterise tumour perfusion (TIC analysis). • Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging can provide diffusion and perfusion properties. • However, IVIM or DCE imaging alone is insufficient for diagnosing head/neck tumours. • Multiparametric approach using both IVIM and TIC profiles can facilitate the diagnosis.
