Association between liver diffusion-weighted imaging apparent diffusion coefficient values and other measures of liver disease in pediatric autoimmune liver disease patients.
Article in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundMultiple quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods have been described to noninvasively detect and characterize liver fibrosis, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). PURPOSE: To evaluate associations between liver MRI DWI apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and clinical factors and other quantitative liver MRI metrics in pediatric patients with autoimmune liver disease (AILD). MATERIALS AND
methodsFifty-seven research liver MRI examinations performed from January 2017 to August 2018 for pediatric AILD registry participants were evaluated. Liver DWI ADC values, liver and spleen stiffness (kPa), and iron-corrected T1 (cT1; Perspectum Diagnostics) were measured at four anatomic levels. Participant age, sex, and laboratory data (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase [GGT]) were recorded. Spearman's rank-order correlation (rho) and multiple linear regression were used to evaluate the associations between liver ADC values and predictor variables.
resultsMean (SD) participant age was 14.8 (4.0) years, 45.6% (26/57) were girls. Mean liver DWI ADC value was 1.34 (0.14 × 10
conclusionLiver DWI ADC values are significantly associated with liver and spleen stiffnesses, liver cT1, ALT, GGT, and participant sex, with liver stiffness and sex remaining significant at multivariable regression. Liver ADC ultimately may play a role in multi-parametric prediction of chronic liver disease/fibrosis severity.
