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: Fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumors are among the most common soft-tissue tumors (STTs) encountered clinically. Several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features associated with malignant tumors overlap with benign tumors, making differential diagnosis challenging. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) is a valuable MRI technique for differentiating various tumors. This study aims to evaluate the abilities of conventional MRI and IVIM in differentiating benign, intermediate, and malignant fibrous STTs. Methods: Fifty-five patients with fibrous STTs were prospectively enrolled, comprising 18 benign, 18 intermediate, and 19 malignant cases. All the patients underwent MRI examinations including IVIM. Conventional MRI signs and standard-apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), true diffusion coefficient (D), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D Results: Malignant tumors had higher heterogeneity on T2WI ( Conclusion: IVIM diffusion parameters differentiated benign, intermediate, and malignant fibrous STTs and can complement conventional MRI signs.
