Diffusion-weighted MR imaging of musculoskeletal tissues: incremental role over conventional MR imaging in bone, soft tissue, and nerve lesions.
Review in BJR open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Diffusion-weighted imaging is increasingly becoming popular in musculoskeletal radiology for its incremental role over conventional MR imaging in the diagnostic strategy and assessment of therapeutic response of bone and soft tissue lesions. This article discusses the technical considerations of diffusion-weighted imaging, how to optimize its performance, and outlines the role of this novel imaging in the identification and characterization of musculoskeletal lesions, such as bone and soft tissue tumors, musculoskeletal infections, arthritis, myopathy, and peripheral neuropathy. The readers can use the newly learned concepts from the presented material containing illustrated case examples to enhance their conventional musculoskeletal imaging and interventional practices and optimize patient management, their prognosis, and outcomes.
