The Value of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Preoperative Differential Diagnosis of Parotid Gland Tumors.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThe aim of the present study was to determine the value of multiparametric MRI in the preoperative differential diagnosis of parotid tumors, which is essential for therapeutic strategy selection.
methodsA three-year prospective study was conducted with 65 patients. Each patient was investigated preoperatively with multiparametric MRI and surgical excision of the tumor was performed. The preoperative imaging diagnosis was compared with the histopathological report. Several MRI parameters were analyzed, including T1 and T2 weighted image (WI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), time to peak (TTP), and the time intensity curve (TIC).
resultsIn the differential diagnosis of benign from malignant tumors, T2WI and ADC showed statistically significant differences. Multiparametric MRI had a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 81.8%, 88.6% and 92.3%, respectively. All of the studied parameters (T1, T2, TIC, TTP, ADC) were significantly different in the comparison between pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin tumors. With reference to the scope of this study, the conjunction of multiparametric and conventional MRI demonstrated a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 94.1%, 100%, and 97.8%, respectively.
conclusionsMorphological analysis using conventional MRI combined with diffusion-weighted imaging (DW) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) multiparametric MRI improved the preoperative differential diagnosis of parotid gland tumors.
