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

purposeTo evaluate if the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) improves the diagnostic accuracy of diffuse orbital masses. MATERIALS AND

methodsADC DW-MRI was used to evaluate cases of diffuse orbital masses at our institution from 2000 to 2015. Lesions were grouped according to histopathologic diagnosis as, benign, pre-malignant and malignant. Lymphoproliferative lesions were further subgrouped as lymphoma or other lymphoproliferative lesions. The validity of the ADC value for the diffuse orbital mass was compared between groups. The area under curve (AUC) was also calculated.

resultsThirty-nine cases of diffuse orbital masses were evaluated. The median ADC was 0.58 (25% quartile 0.48; minimum: 0.45; maximum: 1.72 × 10

conclusionADC is a promising imaging metric to characterize malignant and benign diffuse orbital masses and to distinguish lymphomas from other non-lymphoproliferative lesions.
