Comparison of Conventional DWI, Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Imaging, and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging in Differentiating Lung Lesions.

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
purposeTo compare conventional diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), intravoxel incoherent motion imaging (IVIM) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in differentiating malignant and benign lung lesions.
methodFifty-five consecutive patients with lung lesions underwent multiple b-value DWI. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), IVIM and DKI parameters were calculated using postprocessing software and compared between the malignant and benign groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed for all parameters.
resultsADC and D were lower in malignant lesions than in benign lesions, while Kapp was higher (
conclusionsIn this study, traditional DWI (ADC), IVIM (D), and DKI (Kapp) all had good diagnostic performance in differentiating malignant lung lesions from benign lesions, but the combination of ADC, D, and Kapp value had better diagnostic efficacy than these parameters alone.
