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

objectivesTo characterize salivary glands tumours with diffusion tensor imaging.

methodsThis study was conducted upon 53 patients (aged 18-81 years: mean 37 years) with salivary gland tumours that underwent diffusion tensor imaging was obtained using a single-shot echoplanar imaging sequence with parallel imaging at 1.5 T scanner. 48 slices were obtained, with a thickness of 2.5 mm, with no gap and the total scan duration was 7-8 min. The fractional anisotropy (FA) and the mean diffusivity (MD) value of the salivary gland tumours was calculated and correlated with pathological findings. Image analysis was performed by one radiologist. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to detect the cut-off point of FA and MD used to characterize salivary gland tumours.

resultsThe mean FA and MD of malignant salivary gland tumours (n = 17) (0.41 ± 0.07 and 0.89 ± 0.15 × 10

conclusionsDiffusion-weighed imaging is a promising non-invasive method and it may be useful for the characterization and differentiation of benign and malignant salivary gland tumours.
