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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to research shear wave elastography (SWE) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) for oral carcinoma and benign lesions in buccal, sublingual, and submandibular spaces. Material and methods: Eighteen patients with lesions in buccal, sublingual, and submandibular spaces were evaluated using SWE and DWI. Maximum shear elastic modulus data were analysed using a SWE software. Mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were analysed using ADC maps with DWI. The shear elastic modulus and ADC value for oral carcinoma and benign lesions were compared using the Mann-Whitney Results: The shear elastic modulus of the oral carcinoma (116.6 kPa) was higher than those of the benign lesions (47.0 kPa). The ADC value of oral carcinoma (1.14 × 10 Conclusions: The SWE and ADC with DWI can be useful in the quantitative evaluation of oral carcinoma and benign lesions.
