1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The purpose of this article was to show basic principles, acquisition, advantages, disadvantages, and clinical applications of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). IVIM MRI as a method was introduced in the late 1980s, but recently it started attracting more interest thanks to its applications in many fields, particularly in oncology and neuroradiology. This imaging technique has been developed with the objective of obtaining not only a functional analysis of different organs but also different types of lesions. Among many accessible tools in diagnostic imaging, IVIM MRI aroused the interest of many researchers in terms of studying its applicability in the evaluation of abdominal organs and diseases. The major conclusion of this article is that IVIM MRI seems to be a very auspicious method to investigate the human body, and that nowadays the most promising clinical application for IVIM perfusion MRI is oncology. However, due to lack of standardisation of image acquisition and analysis, further studies are needed to validate this method in clinical practice.
