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

backgroundMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used to analyze the relationship between tumors and nerves before surgery. However, the application value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and post-processing techniques needs further elucidation. PURPOSE: To assess the value of DTI, DWI, and various post-processing techniques in determining the relationship between tumors and nerves. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe participants were 42 patients diagnosed with peripheral nerve-related tumors and 20 healthy controls. DTI and DWI scans were performed before surgery, and then DTI unidirectional maximum intensity projection (MIP) post-processing and DWI subtraction of unidirectionally encoded images for suppression of heavily isotropic objects (DWI

resultsThe diagnostic coincidence rates of preoperative DTI and DWI findings with postoperative pathology were 88.1% and 100%, respectively. DTI images were of poor quality when compared to DWI

conclusionBoth DTI and DWI
