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

The most difficult diagnostic challenge in neck imaging is the differentiation between benign and malignant neoplasms. The purpose of this work was to study the role of the ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) value in discriminating benign from malignant neck neoplastic lesions. The study was conducted on 53 patients with different neck pathologies (35 malignant and 18 benign/inflammatory). In all of the subjects, conventional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) sequences were performed apart from DWI (diffusion-weighted imaging). The mean ADC values in the benign and malignant groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney test. The ADCs of malignant lesions (mean 0.86 ± 0.28) were significantly lower than the benign lesions (mean 1.43 ± 0.57), and the mean ADC values of the inflammatory lesions (1.19 ± 0.75) were significantly lower than those of the benign lesions. The cutoff value of 1.1 mm
