Can Diffusion Weighted Imaging Aid in Differentiating Benign from Malignant Sinonasal Masses?: A Useful Adjunct.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo evaluate the role of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values at 3 Tesla in characterizing sinonasal masses. MATERIAL/
methodsAfter ethical clearance, 79 treatment naive patients with head and neck masses underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including DWI at 3 Tesla using the following b values - 0, 500 and 1000 s/mm
resultsSinonasal masses showed an overlapping growth pattern on conventional imaging, irrespective of their biological nature. The mean ADC value of benign lesions was 1.948±0.459×10
conclusionsDWI in conjunction with conventional imaging can potentially enhance the diagnostic accuracy in characterizing sinonasal masses as benign or malignant. Some specific entities such as JNA and meningioma showed distinctive diffusion characteristics.
