[Oncologic imaging: indications for and limitations of modern cross-sectional imaging techniques].
Article in Der Radiologe, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cross-sectional imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) CT are an integral part of the modern oncological workup. They are used for tumor detection and staging as well as for treatment evaluation and monitoring. Due to pathophysiological and histological differences there is no universal imaging protocol for the assessment of different forms of cancer. For instance, CT is still the standard technique for the detection and staging of lung cancer supplemented by PET which aids the exclusion of nodal involvement and the detection of distant metastases. For hepatocellular carcinoma on the other hand, MRI is the preferred imaging technique, particularly when used in conjunction with liver-specific contrast media - PET/CT is only of limited value. Finally, for neuroendocrine tumors there is a focus on special radiotracers, which, in the context of PET/CT, enable a highly specific whole-body assessment. Thus, knowledge of the pathophysiological and imaging characteristics of different tumors is essential for a personalized, state-of-the art management of oncology patients.
