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

backgroundIntravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) are sensitive imaging modalities for detecting liver lesions, but their value in evaluating cirrhosis-related nodules remains unclear. PURPOSE: To investigate whether IVIM-DWI and DCE-MRI can differentiate different types of cirrhosis-related nodules, and whether these modalities can monitor changes in cell density and angiogenesis during the malignant transformation of cirrhosis-related nodules in a rat model STUDY TYPE: Prospective. ANIMAL MODEL: Thirty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats with 106 cirrhosis-related nodules (19 regenerative nodules [RNs], 47 dysplastic nodules [DNs], and 40 hepatocellular carcinomas [HCCs]). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: IVIM-DWI and DCE sequence at 3.0T MRI. ASSESSMENT: IVIM-DWI parameters (D, D*, f, and apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC]) and DCE-MRI parameters (K STATISTICAL TESTS: MRI parameters were compared among the different types of nodules by one-way analysis of variance or the Kruskal-Wallis test. The Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation of MRI parameters with the pathological types of nodules, cell density, and unpaired arterial ratio.

resultsThe K DATA

conclusionIVIM-DWI and DCE-MRI are valuable in differentiating different types of cirrhotic-related nodules. D and ADC are correlated with changes in cell density during the malignant transformation of cirrhosis-related nodules, while K LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J. Magn. Reson.
