Diagnostic performance of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for differentiating endometrial carcinoma from benign lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis 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 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
To determine the diagnostic performance of mean ADC values in the characterization of endometrial carcinoma (EC) from benign lesions by systematic review of the literature and performing meta-analysis. A systematic search of major electronic bibliographic databases was performed to find studies that used ADC values for differentiating EC from benign lesions. Two reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts of the search results and then by reading the full texts selected the pertinent studies for final analyses. A bivariate random-effects model with pooled sensitivity and specificity values with 95% CI (confidence interval) was used. Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were created. Between-study heterogeneity was measured using I squared (I
