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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficiency of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), the mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmean) and the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmin) values with different b-values (800 s/mm² and 1000 s/mm²) in the diagnosis and staging of endometrial carcinoma (EC).

methodsPreoperative DWI images of 412 patients with EC and 134 patients with benign endometrial lesions were analyzed retrospectively. The performance of DWI images, ADCmean and ADCmin values with different b-values (800 s/mm² and 1000 s/mm²) for the diagnosis and staging (deep myometrial invasion, cervical stromal invasion and lymph node metastasis) of EC was assessed by using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The comparison between AUCs was performed using the DeLong test, and a P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsThe area under the curves (AUCs) of DWI protocol with b = 1000 s/mm

conclusionsDWI images, ADCmean and ADCmin values with b = 1000 s/mm
