Differentiation of salivary gland tumor using diffusion-weighted imaging with a fractional order calculus model.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of using imaging parameters (D, β and μ) obtained from fractional order calculus (FROC) diffusion model to differentiate salivary gland tumors.
methods15 b-value (0-2000 s/mm
resultsNone of the FROC parameters exhibited significant differences between benign and malignant group (D,
conclusionA non-Gaussian FROC diffusion model can serve as a noninvasive and quantitative imaging technique for differentiating salivary gland tumors. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: (1) PA showed higher D and β and lower μ than WT. (2) PA had higher D and β than MT. (3) WT demonstrated lower β than MT. (4) β, as a new FROC parameter, could offer an added value to the differentiation.
