Differentiation between malignant and benign musculoskeletal tumors using diffusion kurtosis imaging.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in parameters of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this prospective study, 43 patients were scanned using a DKI protocol on a 3-T MR scanner. Eligibility criteria were: non-fatty, non-cystic soft tissue or osteolytic tumors; > 2 cm; location in the retroperitoneum, pelvis, leg, or neck; and no prior treatment. They were clinically or histologically diagnosed as benign (n = 27) or malignant (n = 16). In the DKI protocol, diffusion-weighted imaging was performed using four b values (0-2000 s/mm
