Ultra-high b-value DWI in rectal cancer: image quality assessment and regional lymph node prediction based on radiomics.
Article in European radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate image quality and regional lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with rectal cancer (RC) on multi-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).
methodsThis retrospective study included 199 patients with RC who had undergone multi-b-value DWI. Subjective (five-point Likert scale) and objective assessments of quality images were performed on DWI
resultsThe mean signal intensity of the tumor (SI
conclusionDWI CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: DWI KEY POINTS: Lymph node staging is required to determine the best treatment plan for rectal cancer. DWI
