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

purposeTo evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of computed diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in pediatric posterior fossa tumors generated using high b-values.

methodsWe retrospectively performed our study on 32 pediatric patients who had undergone brain magnetic resonance imaging for a posterior fossa tumor between January 2016 and January 2022. The DWIs were evaluated for each patient by two blinded radiologists. The computed DWI (cDWI) was mathematically derived using a mono-exponential model from images with b = 0 and 1,000 s/mm

resultsThe comparison of the two tumor groups revealed that the tumor/thalamus SI ratio on the DWI

conclusioncDWI generated using high b-values was successful in differentiating between low-grade and high-grade posterior fossa tumors without increasing imaging time. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: cDWI created using high b-values can provide additional information about tumor grade in pediatric posterior fossa tumors without requiring additional imaging time.
