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 the diagnostic performance of histogram parameters derived from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for differentiating malignant from benign parotid gland tumors compared with that of hotspot region of interest (ROI)-based apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement.

methodsOur study retrospectively enrolled 60 patients with parotid gland tumors who had undergone DWI scan for pre-treatment evaluation. ADC measurements were performed using hotspot ROI (ADC
