Diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging-derived apparent diffusion coefficient and its association with histological prognostic factors in breast cancer.
Article in Oncology letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been proven to be effective in detecting breast malignancies and has been widely implemented for breast imaging. However, the exact association between certain DWI biomarkers and well-known prognostic factors remains to be fully elucidated. By studying the association between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and prognostic factors, the present study aimed to explore the diagnostic value and prognostic potential of the ADC in breast lesions. The study included 539 female subjects with histopathologically confirmed breast lesions who underwent DWI of the breast tissue. The diagnoses comprised 307 subjects with malignant breast tumors and 232 with benign breast tumors. The maximum ADC and mean ADC (ADC
