Exploratory high b value diffusion-weighted MR for quantitative differentiation of ileocecal inflammatory conditions and tumors.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo explore the quantitative analysis of high b value (2000 s/mm
methodsSixty-six patients with 30 tumors and 36 inflammatory conditions underwent MR enterography with conventional and high b values DWI. Quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and signal intensity ratios (SIRs) of lesions of the psoas muscle were measured from the two b value DWIs. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to determine the diagnostic value of ADC and SIR for differentiating tumors from inflammatory conditions.
resultsThe ADC values of tumors were significantly lower than those of inflammatory conditions in 800 s/mm
conclusionsQuantitative ADC values and SIR could be used as non-invasive tools to distinguish ileocecal tumors from inflammatory conditions. The use of high b value DWI would improve this ability. Furthermore, SIR obtained from high b value DWI was the most promising quantitative parameter. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This study indicated that quantitative DWI parameters might be applied as non-invasive imaging biomarkers for distinguishing bowel tumors from inflammatory conditions. The SIR from high b value DWI could improve the differentiation, providing invaluable information for establishing appropriate therapeutic strategies. KEY POINTS: Differentiation between bowel inflammatory conditions and tumors is still a dilemma. Quantitative DWI contributed to distinguishing ileocecal tumors from inflammatory conditions. SIR from DWI is a promising parameter for differentiating these pathologies.
