Multi-parametric arterial spin labeling and diffusion-weighted imaging of paranasal sinuses masses.
Article in Oral radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 evaluate arterial spin labeling (ASL) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in discrimination of benign from malignant paranasal sinus (PNS) tumors. MATERIAL AND
methodsA prospective study was done upon 42 cases of PNS masses that underwent magnetic resonance ASL and DWI of the head. Tumor blood flow (TBF) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the masses were calculated by two observers. The pathological diagnosis was malignant (n = 28) and benign (n = 14) cases.
resultsFor both observers, the malignant PNS masses had significantly higher TBF (P < 0.001, 0.001) and lower ADC (P < 0.001, 0.001) than in benign masses. The ROC curve analysis of TBF, The threshed TBF was (121.45, 122.68 mL/100 g/min) used for differentiation between benign and malignant PNS masses, revealed sensitivity (92.9%, 89.3%), specificity (85.7%, 85.7%), accuracy (90.5%, 88.1%) and the AUC was 0.87 and 0.86 by both observers. the ROC curve analysis of ADC, The threshold ADC (1.215, 1.205 X10
conclusionCombined using of TBF and ADC have a role in differentiation malignant from benign PNS masses.
