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

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is valuable in the screening, diagnosis, and grading of breast lesions. However, conventional DWI (C-DWI) is prone to chemical shift and distortion. ZOOMit DWI (Z-DWI), as an advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, applies two spatially selective parallel excitation pulses to focus sampling in the hope of obtaining more valuable information. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the image quality and feasibility of Z-DWI with those of C-DWI in breast lesions. Methods: The study included 51 patients with breast lesions who underwent breast MRI from May 2021 to February 2022. All patients received Z-DWI and C-DWI sequences, with b values selected as 50 and 800 s/mm Results: Z-DWI had higher scores compared to C-DWI in terms of lesion conspicuity, anatomical details, distortion and artifacts, and overall image quality (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the agreement between the two readers was reasonably good [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) range, 0.360-0.881]. The SNR of Z-DWI Conclusions: Z-DWI sequences were shown to have superior image quality. The ADC map of Z-DWI is more conducive to the imaging evaluation of breast lesions.
