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

Background: To evaluate and compare the potential performance of various diffusion parameters obtained from mono-exponential model (MEM)-, bi-exponential model (BEM)-, and stretched exponential model (SEM)-based diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in grading of esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESC). Methods: Eighty-two patients with pathologically confirmed ESC without treatment underwent multi-b-value DWI scan with 13 b values (0~12,00 s/mm Results: The ADC, ADC Conclusion: Various parameters derived from different DWI models including MEM, BEM, and SEM were potentially helpful in grading ESC. DDC obtained from SEM was the most promising diffusion parameter for predicting the grade of ESC.
