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

clinical/methodical issueThe liver is the second most common location of metastases following the lymph nodes. The accurate characterization of focal liver lesions in oncology patients is especially important because of the high prevalence of benign liver lesions and the possibility of co-existing benign and malignant lesions. The exact interpretation of these lesions is crucial for therapeutic decisions and thus for the prognosis of the patient. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsIt is essential to detect all focal liver lesions and to distinguish benign from malignant lesions, especially in the management of oncology patients. Numerous imaging modalities are available for these challenges in the daily routine. An extensive understanding of the advantages and limitations of the various imaging modalities and knowledge of the morphology and the typical and atypical appearances of the different metastases is important. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: This review explains the radiological criteria for various metastases in different modalities. To evaluate the individual prognosis and risk assessment preoperatively, functional imaging is necessary. These personalized pretherapeutic diagnostics are discussed.
