Diagnostic accuracy of diffusion tensor imaging in differentiating malignant from benign compressed vertebrae.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeTo study diagnostic accuracy of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in differentiating malignant from benign compressed vertebrae.
methodsThis study was done on 43 patients with compressed vertebrae on conventional magnetic resonance study that underwent DTI. The mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of malignant (n = 24) and benign (n = 19) compressed vertebrae were calculated by two readers.
resultsThere was a significantly lower (P = 0.001) MD of both readers between malignant (0.74 ± 0.2 and 0.78 ± 0.2 × 10
conclusionDTI is a non-invasive technique providing accurate imaging parameters that can be used for differentiating malignant from benign compressed vertebrae.
