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: Histogram analysis of the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) parameters is widely used to differentiate the breast lesions. However, histogram analysis of the diffusion-kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters for the single-shot echo-planar imaging (ss-EPI) and readout-segmented echo planar imaging (rs-EPI) sequences has not been compared in breast cancer. Thus, this study is to investigate the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of the histogram parameters derived from the rs-EPI and ss-EPI sequences of DKI parameters in distinguishing between the benign and malignant breast lesions. Methods: This single-center, retrospective cohort study enrolled 205 consecutive patients with breast lesions (65 benign and 140 malignant). The patients underwent breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a 3T scanner using the rs-EPI and ss-EPI sequences with 4 b values (0, 50, 1,000, and 2,000 s/mm Results: The mean, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th percentiles, skewness, and kurtosis values derived from apparent diffusion for non-Gaussian distribution (D Conclusions: Histogram parameters from the rs-EPI sequence were more reliable and accurate in differentiating malignant and benign breast lesions than those from the ss-EPI sequence.
