Age-related apparent diffusion coefficients of lumbar vertebrae in healthy children at 1.5 T.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDiffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculation is important for detecting bone marrow pathologies.
objectiveTo investigate age-related differences of lumbar vertebral body ADC to establish normal values for healthy children. MATERIALS AND
methodsForty-nine healthy children without any history of oncological or hematological diseases (10.2±4.7 years, range: 0-20 years) were included in this retrospective study. All magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed at 1.5 T and with similar scan parameters. The diffusion-weighted sequences were performed with b values of 50, 400 and 800 s/mm
resultsThe mean ADC of the whole study group was 0.60±0.09 × 10
conclusionThe age-, vertebral- and intravertebral level-dependent differences in ADC suggest a varying composition and cellularity in different age groups and in different locations.
