1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo evaluate the feasibility of synthetic MRI for quantitative and morphologic assessment of head and neck tumors and compare the results with the conventional MRI approach. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 92 patients with different head and neck tumor histology who underwent conventional and synthetic MRI were retrospectively recruited. The quantitative T1, T2, proton density (PD), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of 38 benign and 54 malignant tumors were measured and compared. Diagnostic efficacy for differentiating malignant and benign tumors was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and integrated discrimination index. The image quality of conventional and synthetic

resultsT1, T2 and ADC values of malignant head and neck tumors were smaller than those of benign tumors (all

conclusionsSynthetic MRI can facilitate the characterization of head and neck tumors by providing quantitative relaxation parameters and synthetic
