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

objectivesThis study aimed to examine the variability of intravoxel incoherent motion measurements acquired from reduced distributions of b values for breast tumors analysis. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe investigations were carried out on twenty-four patients with diagnosed breast tumors. A conventional unenhanced MRI and various IVIM series preset with different distributions of b values (0-1000 s/mm

resultsThe results showed no significant variation in the estimations of IVIM parameters in patients. However, the measurements acquired with the combination of 5 b values Showed some variation in D

conclusionThere was no relevant variation in the parameters measurements irrespective of the number of b values used. Reduced distributions of b values may find use in estimations of IVIM parameters for breast lesions analysis.
