Evaluation of ADC
Article in European journal of radiology open, 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
purposeThe aim of this project is to investigate the usefulness of the absolute liver lesion ADC value and ratio of Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of a liver lesion and liver parenchyma to discriminate between a benign and malignant lesion.
methodsLiver MRI scans performed between January 2009 and June 2015 were retrospectively analysed. Scans were performed on either a 1.5 T or 3 T MRI unit. The type of liver lesion (benign or malignant) was determined by its radiological appearance, histology result and clinical management. Lesions with undetermined diagnosis or MRI studies degraded by artifacts were excluded. Liver cysts were also excluded from the analysis. ADC value of a lesion and liver parenchyma was measured and ADC
conclusionOur dataset indicates that lesion to background liver ADC
