Differential diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging in non-cystic lesions in floor of the mouth.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
methods: A total of 82 patients were included in this study. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and time-signal intensity curves (TICs) were measured. Clinical characteristics, ADC value, and TIC pattern were compared between benign and malignant FOM lesions. Receiver operating characteristic curve and logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate respective and combined value of ADC value and TIC pattern for differential diagnosis. The retrospective study was approved by our institutional review board, and the need for informed consent was waived.
results: The area under the curve ADC value and TIC pattern were 0.71 and 0.73, respectively. The combined use of ADC value and TIC pattern increased the area under the curve value to 0.81 [95% confidence interval (CI), (0.66-0.97)]. ADC < 1.23 × 10
conclusions: Our results suggest that both diffusion-weighted imaging and DCE-MRI could contribute to the differential diagnosis of non-cystic FOM lesions, especially when used in combination.
