Diagnostic efficacy of diffusion-weighted imaging and semiquantitative and quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in salivary gland tumors.
Article in World journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundIncreased use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI consisting of sequential contrast series, allows us to obtain more information on the microstructure, cellularity, interstitial distance, and vascularity of tumors, which has increased the discrimination power for benign and malignant salivary gland tumors (SGTs). In the last few years, quantitative DCE MRI data containing T1 perfusion parameters (K
aimTo evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of DWI and semiquantitative and quantitative perfusion MRI parameters in SGTs.
methodsDiffusion MRI [apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value] with a 1.5 T MR machine, semiquantitative perfusion MRI [time intensity curve (TIC) pattern], and quantitative perfusion MRI examinations (K
resultsThe majority of SGTs were located in the parotid glands (86.3%). Of all the SGTs, 68.5% were benign and 31.5% were malignant. Significant differences were found for ADC values among pleomorphic adenomas (PMAs), Warthin's tumors (WTs), and malignant tumors (MTs) (
conclusionThe use of quantitative DCE parameters along with diffusion MRI and semiquantitative contrast-enhanced MRI in SGTs could improve the diagnostic accuracy.
