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
purposeTo compare objective and subjective image quality, lesion conspicuity, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of high-resolution multiplexed sensitivity-encoding diffusion-weighted imaging (MUSE-DWI) with conventional DWI (c-DWI) and reduced FOV DWI (rFOV-DWI) in prostate MRI.
methodsForty-seven patients who underwent prostate MRI, including c-DWI, rFOV-DWI, and MUSE-DWI, were retrospectively evaluated. SNR and ADC of normal prostate tissue and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and ADC of prostate cancer (PCa) were measured and compared between the three sequences. Image quality and lesion conspicuity were independently graded by two radiologists using a 5-point scale and compared between the three sequences.
resultsThe SNR of normal prostate tissue was significantly higher with rFOV-DWI than with the other two DWI techniques (P ≤ 0.01). The CNR of the PCa was significantly higher with rFOV-DWI than with MUSE-DWI (P < 0.05). The ADC of normal prostate tissue measured by rFOV-DWI was lower than that measured by MUSE-DWI and c-DWI (P < 0.01), while there was no difference in the ADC of cancers. In the qualitative analysis, MUSE-DWI showed significantly higher scores than rFOV-DWI and c-DWI for visibility of anatomy and overall image quality in both readers, and significantly higher scores for distortion in one of the two readers (P < 0.001). There was no difference in lesion conspicuity between the three sequences.
conclusionHigh-resolution MUSE-DWI showed higher image quality and reduced distortion compared to c-DWI, while maintaining a wide FOV and similar ADC quantification, although no difference in lesion conspicuity was observed.
