Application of diffusion-weighted imaging combined with apparent diffusion coefficient in differential diagnosis between central neurocytoma and ependymoma.

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
purposeDifferential diagnosis between central neurocytoma and ependymoma is very important for making preoperative scheme. We explored the application of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) combined with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in differential diagnosis between both.
methodsThe data of preoperative MR plain and contrast-enhanced scan, DWI and ADC values of neoplastic solid parts from 18 cases with central neurocytoma and 19 cases with lateral ventricular ependymoma, were retrospectively analyzed. Mann-Whitney test was used for the comparison of ADC values between central neurocytoma and ependymoma. The application of ADC values in the differential diagnosis between central neurocytoma and ependymoma was evaluated by ROC curve.
resultsThe lesions showed hyperintensity-dominant mixed signal intensity on DWI and mean ADC was (0.65 ± 0.13) × 10
conclusionThere is a certain overlap in MRI imaging features between central neurocytoma and ependymoma. DWI combined with ADC value can improve peoperative diagnostic accuracy.
