Apparent diffusion coefficient for distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions in submandibular and sublingual spaces.
Article in Oral radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was performed to investigate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions in submandibular and sublingual spaces.
methodsThirteen patients with benign and malignant lesions in submandibular and sublingual spaces were evaluated by MRI. The MRI were obtained by a 1.5 T MR unit using a head coil, and included T1-weighted image (T1WI), T2-weighted image (T2WI) and diffusion-weighted image (DWI). The ADC maps were calculated automatically by the DWI obtained with b = 800 s/mm
resultsRegarding all lesions, T1WI, T2WI and DWI showed low-, high- and high-signal intensity area, respectively. The ADC of malignant lesions (1.10 ± 0.05 × 10
conclusionThe ADC could be effective for the objectively and quantitatively diagnosis of submandibular and sublingual malignant tumors.
