Quantitative assessment of age-related changes in the mandibular bone marrow using apparent coefficient value.
Article in Oral radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the age-related changes in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the mandibular bone marrow using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective cohort study comprised all patients who underwent pantomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between April 2018 and November 2020 at our institution. A total of 351 participants (140 men, 211 women), aged 15-89 years (mean age 46.01 years), were included in the study. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated using age groups as the criterion variable and the ADC values as the explanatory variables. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe mean ADC value for all age groups was 0.91 ± 0.18 in men and 0.86 ± 0.16 in women (p = 0.016). There was a significant negative correlation between age and the ADC values in each sex group (p < 0.001).
conclusionThis study demonstrates that the normal ADC values of the mandibular bone marrow show significant negative correlation with increasing age. These findings will be useful in the diagnosis of bone marrow diseases.
