Hypointense head and neck lesions on T2-weighted images: correlation with histopathologic findings.
Review in Neuroradiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeOn T2-weighted images, most solid lesions exhibit nonspecific intermediate signal intensity, whereas most cystic lesions exhibit marked hyperintensity. In contrast, on T2-weighted images, a relatively small number of lesions exhibit hypointensity. This review aimed to differentiate, according to the histopathologic findings, head and neck lesions showing hypointensity on T2-weighted images.
methodsIn this review article, hypointense head and neck lesions on T2-weighted images are classified into the following nine categories: calcified or osseous lesions, granulomatous lesions, fibrous lesions, mucous- or proteincontaining lesions, hemosiderin-containing lesions, melanin-containing lesions, thyroglobulin-containing lesions, rapid blood flow, and air-filled spaces.
conclusionKnowledge regarding hypointense head and neck lesions on T2-weighted images allows radiologists to make accurate differential diagnoses. Key points • Hypointense head and neck lesions on T2-weighted images include calcified or osseous lesions, granulomatous lesions, fibrous lesions, mucous- or protein-containing lesions, hemosiderin-containing lesions, melanin-containing lesions, thyroglobulin-containing lesions, rapid blood flow, and air-filled spaces. • Radiologists should recognize the hypointense head and neck lesions on T2-weighted images for the final correct diagnosis, resulting in appropriate patient management.
