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

objectiveTo report our experience with the use of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI in bone marrow before and after administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF). Moreover, a small series of patients with bone metastases from breast cancer have been evaluated by IVIM DW-MRI and DCE-MRI before and after GCSF administration. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe studied with IVIM-MRI and DCE-MRI 14 patients with rectal or uterine cervix cancer studied before and 4-18 days after administration of GCSF; the second MR examination was obtained after three chemotherapy courses. IVIM perfusion fraction (f), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*), true diffusion coefficient (D) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as well area under the curve at 60 s (AUC60) were calculated for bone marrow before and after GCSF administration. Moreover, two different IVIM parametric maps (i.e., ADC and ADC

resultsADC, D, D*, f and AUC60 values were significantly higher in hyperplastic bone marrow than in untreated bone marrow (p values < 0.0001, < 0.0001, < 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.0001, respectively). All bone metastases were clearly differentiable from hyperplastic bone marrow on ADC

conclusionMR functional imaging techniques, such as DW-, IVIM DW- and DCE-MRI are effective tools in assessing the response of bone marrow to the administration of growth factors. Although an overlap between signal of hyperplastic bone marrow and lytic bone metastases can occur on ADC maps and DCE-MRI, evaluation of ADCl
