Sensitivity and specificity assessment of DWI and ADC for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in postmenopausal patients.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveIn this study, we prospectively investigated the diagnostic capability of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in assessing vertebral marrow changes in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsSixty postmenopausal women (mean age 60.2 ± 6.11 years) underwent both dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) of the spine and MRI. Results were acquired from each patient's L2 to L4, for a total of 180 lumbar vertebrae. Based on bone mineral density (BMD) measurements obtained from DEXA, the vertebrae were divided into three groups as follows: normal (n = 52), osteopenic (n = 92), and osteoporotic (n = 36). DWI of the vertebral body was performed to assess the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). The ADC outcomes were compared among the three groups and correlated with BMD.
resultsADC values (× 10
conclusionADC values correlated positively with BMD in women. DWI can allow quantitative evaluation of bone marrow changes and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
