Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Parameters and Normalized ADC Values Could Aid Differentiation of Skull Base Osteomyelitis from Nasopharyngeal Cancer.

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
background and purposeThe skull base osteomyelitis sometimes can be difficult to distinguish from nasopharyngeal cancer. This study aimed to investigate the differences between skull base osteomyelitis and nasopharyngeal cancer using dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging and normalized ADC values. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included 8 and 12 patients with skull base osteomyelitis and nasopharyngeal cancer, respectively, who underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging and DWI before primary treatment. Quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and ADC values of the ROIs were analyzed. Normalized ADC parameters were calculated by dividing the ROIs of the lesion by that of the spinal cord.
resultsThe rate transfer constant between extravascular extracellular space and blood plasma per minute (Kep) was significantly lower in patients with skull base osteomyelitis than in those with nasopharyngeal cancer (median, 0.43 versus 0.57;
conclusionsQuantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and normalized ADC values may be useful in differentiating skull base osteomyelitis and nasopharyngeal cancer. The combination of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging parameters and normalized ADC values outperformed each measure in isolation.
