Cervical lymphadenopathy: can the histogram analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient help to differentiate between lymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma in patients with unknown clinical primary tumor?
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 retrospectively evaluate the value of whole-lesion histogram analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in differentiating between lymphoma and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of unknown clinical primary in neck nodes.
methodsA total of 39 patients, 20 affected by lymphoma and 19 affected by metastatic non-nasopharyngeal SCC, were included in this retrospective study. All patients underwent MR imaging with a 1.5 T scanner system, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with three different b values (b = 0, 500 and 800 s/mm
resultsThe SCCs showed significantly higher median ADC (ADC
conclusionsThe whole-lesion ADC histogram analysis of cervical lymphadenopathy may help to discriminate lymphomas from non-nasopharyngeal SCC in patients with unknown clinical primary tumor.
