Multi-parametric arterial spin labeling and diffusion-weighted imaging in differentiation of metastatic from reactive lymph nodes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 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
purposeTo assess arterial spin labeling (ASL) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differentiation of metastatic from reactive lymph nodes (LNs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective analysis of 113 LNs in 43 patients with HNSCC underwent ASL and DWI of the neck. The tumor blood flow (TBF) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the cervical LNs were calculated. The final diagnosis of metastatic (n = 82) and reactive (n = 31) was proved with the pathological examination.
resultsThe TBF of metastatic LNs (58.8 ± 10.2, 58.6 ± 8.5 mL/100 g/min) was significantly higher (p = 0.001) than the reactive LNs (23.2 ± 10.3, 28.2 ± 16.7 mL/100 g/min) for both observers, respectively. The ADC of metastatic LN (1.12 ± 0.07, 1.21 ± 0.07 × 10
conclusionCombined TBF and ADC are non-invasive imaging parameters that can play a role in differentiation metastatic from reactive LNs in patients with HNSCC.
