Diagnostic accuracy of diffusion weighted imaging for differentiation of supratentorial pilocytic astrocytoma and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeSupratentorial pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) may mimic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) on conventional MR imaging, and a differentiation is clinically important because of distinct recurrence rate and anaplastic transformation rate. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic potential of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating supratentorial PA from PXA.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed DWI and conventional MR imaging of 16 patients with supratentorial PA and 8 patients with PXA. Variables of mean ADC values (ADC
resultsBoth ADC
conclusionDWI is helpful in characterization and differentiation of supratentorial PA from PXA.
