Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and non-Gaussian diffusion MRI of the lactating breast.
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeTo investigate the effect of breastfeeding on IVIM and non-Gaussian diffusion MRI in the breast. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn IRB approved prospective study enrolled seventeen volunteers (12 in lactation and 5 with post-weaning, range 31-43 years; mean 35.4 years). IVIM (f
resultsADC
conclusionIVIM and non-Gaussian diffusion parameters significantly changed between pre- and post-breastfeeding status, and care needs to be taken in interpreting diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data in lactating breasts.
