Added value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for the detection of pancreatic fluid collection infection.
Article in European radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesTo investigate the added value of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the detection of infection in pancreatic fluid collections (PFC).
methodsForty-patients with PFC requiring endoscopic-transmural drainage underwent conventional-MR and DW-MR imaging (b = 1000 s/mm
resultsFor both readers, sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV and accuracy for infected PFCs were higher for set2 (P > .05). ADC were lower in infected versus non-infected PFCs (P ≤ .031). Minimum ADC cut-off: 1,090×10
conclusionQualitative information provided by DW-MR may help to assess PFCs infection. Infected PFCs show significantly lower ADCs compared to non-infected ones. KEY POINTS: • DW improves MR diagnostic accuracy to detect infection of PFC • Infected PFCs show lower ADC compared to non-infected ones (P < .031) • DW-MR images are easy to interpret especially for non-experienced radiologist.
