Diffusion-weighted MR imaging of mediastinal lymphadenopathy in children.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purposeTo assess mediastinal lymphadenopathy in children with diffusion-weighted MR imaging. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective analysis of 29 consecutive children (18 boys and 11 girls aged 2-15 years) with mediastinal lymphadenopathy. They underwent single-shot echo planar diffusion-weighted MR imaging of the mediastinum with b factors of 0, 300, and 600 s/mm(2). The ADC value of the mediastinal lymph nodes was calculated and correlated with biopsy results; statistical analysis was also performed.
resultsThe mean ADC value for malignant mediastinal lymphadenopathy (n = 20) (0.99 ± 0.18 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s) was significantly lower (P = 0.001) than that for benign lymphadenopathy (n = 9) (1.35 ± 0.26 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s). There was significant difference between ADC values for non-Hodgkin lymphoma and metastatic nodes (P = 0.04). For differentiating malignant from benign mediastinal lymphadenopathy, the best result was obtained when an ADC value of 1.22 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s was used as a threshold value; area under the curve was 0.861, accuracy 93.1 %, sensitivity 100 %, specificity of 77.8 %, positive predictive value 90.9 %, and negative predictive value of 100 %.
conclusionDiffusion-weighted MR imaging is a promising non-invasive imaging modality that can be used for differentiation of malignant from benign mediastinal lymphadenopathy in children.
