Diagnostic value of cervical spine ZOOM-DWI in cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2024.

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 investigate the clinical application value of the non-shared incentive diffusion imaging technique (ZOOM-DWI) diagnoses of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).
methods49 CSM patients who presented from January 2022 to December 2022 were selected as the patient group, and 50 healthy volunteers are recruited as the control group. All subjects underwent conventional MRI and ZOOM-DWI of the cervical spine and neurologic mJOA scores in patients with CSM. The spinal ADC values of segments C2-3, C4-5, C5-6, and C6-7 are measured and analyzed in all subjects, with C5-6 being the most severe level of spinal canal compression in the patient group. In addition, the study also analyzes and compares the relationship between the C5-6 ADC value and mJOA score in the patient group.
resultsThe mean ADC shows no significantly different levels in the control group. Among the ADC values at each measurement level in the patient group, except for C4-5 and C6-7 segments are not statistically significant, the remaining pair-wise comparisons all show statistically significant differences (F = 24.368, p < 0.001). And these individuals have the highest ADC value at C5-6. The C5-6 ADC value in the patient group is significantly higher compared with the ADC value in the control group (t = 9.414, p < 0.001), with statistical significance. The ADC value at the patient stenosis shows a significant negative correlation with the mJOA score (r = -0.493, p < 0.001).
conclusionCervical ZOOM-DWI can be applied to diagnose CSM, and spinal ADC value can use as reliable imaging data for diagnosing cervical myelopathy.
