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: To evaluate whether neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) can reflect cognitive impairment (CI) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with late-delayed radiation-induced temporal lobe injury (RTLI). Methods: In this prospective study, 90 NPC patients with RTLI underwent structural MRI, conventional diffusion-weighted imaging, and NODDI. Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA; score < 26 indicated CI). NODDI-derived parameters-intra-neurite volume fraction (ICVF), isotropic volume fraction (ISOVF), and orientation dispersion index (ODI)-and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were compared between patients with and without CI. Diagnostic performance and correlations with MoCA scores were analyzed. Results: Among 90 patients, 66 had CI. CI patients exhibited significantly lower ICVF and ODI ( Conclusion: NODDI-derived ICVF is associated with CI and correlates with MoCA scores in NPC patients with RTLI.
