Impact of fat content on lumbar spine DWI performance: A sex-based comparative study.
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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: Sex-based differences in lumbar spine's fat content in adults are minimal, but significant variations exist in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) signal characteristics. This study aimed to investigate fat content's impact on DWI performance in lumbar spine and potential sex differences. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on upper abdominal MRI examinations in asymptomatic adult. The lumbar 1 vertebral apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and fat fraction were measured. Using DWI images (b = 800 s/mm Results: 202 subjects, 99 men were included. Fat content significantly influenced lumbar spine DWI signal in both sexes ( Conclusion: Fat content significantly impacts the DWI signal of lumbar spine, with a slight sex difference observed. These sex differences suggest that DWI signals may provide valuable information about the bone marrow beyond fat content.
