Value of IVIM in Differential Diagnoses between Benign and Malignant Solitary Lung Nodules and Masses: A Meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) in distinguishing malignant and benign solitary pulmonary nodules and masses. Methods: Studies investigating the diagnostic accuracy of IVIM-DWI in lung lesions published through December 2020 were searched. The standardized mean differences (SMDs) of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), tissue diffusivity ( Results: A total of 16 studies including 714 malignant and 355 benign lesions were included. Significantly lower ADC, Conclusions: The parameters derived from IVIM-DWI, especially the
