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

The objective of this study is to investigate computed DWI (cDWI) as an alternative method to contrast-enhanced MRI in comparison with directory measured DWI (mDWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for differentiating synovial proliferation from joint effusion. Nine patients suspected with RA (5 women) were included in this study. A radiologist identified region of interest (ROI) based on STIR, and evaluated using a 5-point grading scale of 0 (fluid) to 4 (synovial proliferation) according to the degree of contrast enhancement within the ROI. cDWI was synthesized for b values from 1000 to 2000 at 200 s/mm
