Comparison of synthesized and acquired high b-value diffusion-weighted MRI for detection of prostate cancer.
Article in Cancer imaging : the official publication of the International Cancer Imaging Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundHigh b-value diffusion-weighted images (DWI) are used for detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). This study qualitatively and quantitatively compares synthesized DWI (sDWI) to acquired (aDWI) for detection of csPCa.
methodsOne hundred fifty-one consecutive patients who underwent prostate MRI and biopsy were included in the study. Axial DWI with b = 0, 500, 1000, and 2000 s/mm
resultsWithin the prostate, mean ± standard deviation of percent mean differences between sDWI and aDWI signal were -46 ± 35% for sDWI
conclusionsDWI is qualitatively comparable to aDWI within the prostate. However, hyperintense artifacts are introduced with sDWI in the surrounding pelvic tissue that interfere with quantitative cancer detection and might mask metastases. In the prostate, RSIrs yields superior quantitative csPCa detection than sDWI or aDWI.
