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

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is sensitive to the mobility of water molecule at cellular and macromolecular level, much smaller than the spatial resolution of the images. It is commonly based on single shot echo-planar imaging sequence with the addition of motion-probing gradient pulses and fat suppression. DWI is increasingly incorporated into routine body magnetic resonance imaging protocols. However, the liver is particularly affected by physiological motions such as respiration; the left liver is also affected by cardiac motion artifacts and susceptibility artefact due to contents in the stomach. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) DWI data analysis requires high-quality data acquisition using multiple
