Values of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Lesion-to-Spinal Cord Signal Intensity in Diagnosing Solitary Pulmonary Lesions: Turbo Spin-Echo versus Echo-Planar Imaging Diffusion-Weighted Imaging.
Article in BioMed research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThis study is aimed at comparing the image quality and diagnostic performance of mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and lesion-to-spinal cord signal intensity ratio (LSR) derived from turbo spin-echo diffusion-weighted imaging (TSE-DWI) and echo-planar imaging- (EPI-) DWI in patients with a solitary pulmonary lesion (SPL).
methods33 patients with SPL underwent chest imaging using EPI-DWI and TSE-DWI with
resultsTSE-DWI had similar SNR and CNR compared with EPI-DWI. DR was significantly lower on TSE-DWI than EPI-DWI. ADC and LSR showed slightly higher values with TSE-DWI, while the Bland-Altman analysis showed unacceptable limits of agreement between the two sequences. ADC and LSR of both DWI techniques differed significantly between lung cancer and benign lesions (
conclusionsTSE-DWI provides significantly improved image quality in patients with SPL as compared with EPI-DWI. However, there was no difference in diagnostic efficacy between these two techniques, according to ADC and LSR.
