High-Resolution, High b-Value Computed Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Improves Detection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundOur purpose was to investigate the potential of high-resolution, high b-value computed DWI (cDWI) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) detection. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively enrolled 44 patients with confirmed PDAC. Respiratory-triggered, diffusion-weighted, single-shot echo-planar imaging (ss-EPI) with both conventional (i.e., full field-of-view, 3 × 3 × 4 mm voxel size, b = 0, 50, 300, 600 s/mm
resultsHigh-resolution, high b-value computed DWI (r-cDWI1000) enabled significant improvement in lesion detection and a higher incidence of a high lesion-to-pancreas intensity relation (type 1, clear hyperintense) compared to conventional high b-value computed and high-resolution high b-value acquired DWI (f-cDWI1000 and r-aDWI1000, respectively). Image quality was rated inferior in the r-cDWI1000 datasets compared to r-aDWI1000. Furthermore, the aCNR and CR were higher in the r-cDWI1000 datasets than in f-cDWI1000 and r-aDWI1000.
conclusionHigh-resolution, high b-value computed DWI provides significantly better visualization of PDAC compared to the conventional high b-value computed and high-resolution high b-value images acquired by DWI.
