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 and Purpose: Radiation-induced damage to the organs at risk (OARs) in head-and-neck cancer (HNC) patient can result in long-term complications. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), DIXON for fat fraction (FF) estimation and T Materials and Methods: Scanning was performed at a 3 T diagnostic MRI scanner, including the calculation of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from DWI, FF and T Results: Bias was 0.009x10 Conclusion: These qMRI techniques are feasible, accurate and repeatable, which is promising for treatment response monitoring and/or differentiating between healthy and unhealthy tissues due to radiation-induced damage in HNC patients.
