Role of Non-Echo-Planar Diffusion Weighted MRI Imaging (DWI MRI) in Unsafe Chronic Otitis Media (CSOM): A Clinical Study at a Tertiary Care Center in Uttarakhand.

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
In course of evaluation of cholesteatoma, High resolution Computerized Tomography provides significant information regarding the extent of disease and associated bony erosion, if any but lags behind in differentiating soft tissue densities often associated with the disease. For this reason, Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging has come to assume a significant role in the differential diagnosis of various soft tissue lesions found in chronic suppurative otitis media including cholesteatoma. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of DWI Non-ECHO planar MRI in imaging of middle ear along with HRCT Scan of temporal bone in diagnosis of unsafe (squamous) CSOM. It was a hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study carried out over a period of 24 months at Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Thirty adult patients in the age group of 18-65 years with features suggestive of unsafe (squamous) CSOM were recruited. There was good correlation between DWI Non-ECHO Planar MRI images and histopathological findings however further studies with recruitment of large number of patients are required to establish the fact. It was concluded that DWI Non ECHO planar MRI plays a significant role in diagnosing cholesteatoma and should be utilized wherever possible for differential diagnosis of soft tissue lesions associated with chronic suppurative otitis media including cholesteatoma.
