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

We reported a rare case of patient affected by pleural lipoma, studied with ultrasound, X-rays, CT, and MRI examination, with both conventional and functional MR imaging modality (DWI), in order to highlight the diagnostic contribution of the DWI sequence. It is necessary to make an adequate evaluation with dedicated imaging to make a correct differential diagnosis from the corresponding malignant forms which would require more radical treatment. In this case we evaluated the effectiveness of the DWI sequence in reaching the correct diagnosis. DWI highlighted the absence of restriction signal, both in the lesion and in any contextual nodules. ADC map revealed a mean ADC value= 0.38 × 10
