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

BACKGROUND/

aimTo identify factors influencing adrenal signal intensity in whole-body magnetic resonance imaging/diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (MRI/DWIBS). PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included patients who underwent whole-body MRI/DWIBS at our institution between April 2019 and April 2025 with no malignant tumor or history of a malignant tumor. Adrenal signal intensity and gland area were measured and analyzed according to sex and age.

resultsThe study included 22 male patients (average age of 58.2±11.7) and 38 female patients (average age of 55.9±15.4). The maximum signal intensity (max value) of the left adrenal gland on diffusion-weighted imaging was 1,885.5±352.0, and the mean gland area was 1,198±435.0 mm

conclusionAdrenal gland signal intensity and gland size on whole-body DWIBS are significantly higher in males than in females. In females, both signal intensity and adrenal area increase with age, suggesting age-related physiological or hormonal influences on adrenal gland characteristics.
