Whole-Lesion Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Histogram Analysis: Significance for Discriminating Lung Cancer from Pulmonary Abscess and Mycobacterial Infection.
Article in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) can differentiate malignant from benign pulmonary nodules. However, it is difficult to differentiate pulmonary abscesses and mycobacterial infections (PAMIs) from lung cancers because PAMIs show restricted diffusion in DWI. The study purpose is to establish the role of ADC histogram for differentiating lung cancer from PAMI. There were 41 lung cancers (25 adenocarcinomas, 16 squamous cell carcinomas), and 19 PAMIs (9 pulmonary abscesses, 10 mycobacterial infections). Parameters more than 60% of the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were ADC, maximal ADC, mean ADC, median ADC, most frequency ADC, kurtosis of ADC, and volume of lesion. There were significant differences between lung cancer and PAMI in ADC, mean ADC, median ADC, and most frequency ADC. The ADC (1.19 ± 0.29 × 10
