Conventional, diffusion, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI findings for differentiating metaplastic Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland.

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
The purpose of this study was to explore conventional, diffusion, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) characteristics for differentiating metaplastic Warthin's tumor (MWT) from other tumor types of the parotid gland, including non-metaplastic Warthin's tumor (non-MWT), pleomorphic adenoma (PA), and malignant tumor (MT). A total of 178 patients with histologically proven tumors of the parotid gland, including 21 MWTs, 49 non-MWTs, 66 PAs, and 42 MTs, were enrolled in the study. Conventional MRI was performed in all patients. One hundred and fifty patients had preoperative diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI), and 62 patients had preoperative DCE-MRI. The differences in the conventional, DCE-MRI, and DWI records between MWTs and the other three tumor types were statistically evaluated. Compared with non-MWTs and PAs, there was a statistically significant difference in circumscription (
