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

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performances of dual-layer CT (DLCT) for the identification of positive lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with lymphoma and retrospectively included 1165 LNs obtained by biopsy from 78 patients with histologically proven lymphoma, who underwent both pretreatment DLCT and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT). According to 18F-FDG PET/CT findings as a reference standard, cases were categorized into the LN-negative and LN-positive groups. LNs were then randomly divided at a ratio of 7:3 into the training (n = 809) and validation (n = 356) cohorts. The patients' clinical characteristics and quantitative parameters including spectral curve slope (λ
