The diagnostic value of combining conventional, diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI for salivary gland tumors.

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
objectiveTo determine the diagnostic value of combining conventional MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in salivary gland tumors.
methods45 patients with salivary gland tumors were evaluated with conventional MRI, DWI and DCE-MRI prior to surgery and confirmed by pathologic findings. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated from DWI that was obtained with a factor of 0 and 1000 s mm
resultsIn conventional MRI, benign tumors often showed well-defined and clear margins, malignant tumors showed irregular margins or infiltration into the surrounding tissue. There were significant differences with regard to the ADC values between pleomorphic adenoma (1.72 ± 0.29 × 10
conclusionAn evaluation combining MRI morphologic findings and functional MRI (ADCs and TIC) appears to be useful in differentiating benign from malignant tumors in salivary gland tumors. Advances in knowledge: The study firstly dealt with the combination of conventional MRI, DWI-MRI with DCE-MRI in salivary gland tumors.
