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

Purpose: To examine the diagnostic significance of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram in quantifying neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods: An analysis was conducted on the MRI data of 90 HIE patients, 49 in the moderate-to-severe group, and the other in the mild group. The 3D Slicer software was adopted to delineate the whole brain region as the region of interest, and 22 ADC histogram parameters were obtained. The interobserver consistency of the two radiologists was assessed by the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The difference in parameters (ICC > 0.80) between the two groups was compared by performing the independent sample Results: The ADCmean, ADCmin, ADCmax,10th-70th, 90th percentile of ADC values of the moderate-to-severe group were smaller than those of the mild group, while the group's variance, skewness, kurtosis, heterogeneity, and mode-value were higher than those of the mild group ( Conclusions: The ADC histogram contributes to the HIE diagnosis and is capable of indicating the diffusion information of the brain objectively and quantitatively. It refers to a vital method for assessing the severity of HIE.
