Surveillance method and imaging characteristics of recurrent biliary cancer after surgical resection.
Review in Korean journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
This is a review of the diagnostic imaging techniques and findings of recurrent biliary cancer after surgical resection of the extrahepatic bile duct and gallbladder. Radiological examination plays an important role in diagnosing postoperative recurrence of biliary cancers. Early detection and diagnosis of recurrent cancer is critical in obtaining proper treatment and improves the prognosis. In the surveillance of recurrent biliary cancer, several diagnostic imaging modalities are currently used. Usually CT is the most common method for surveillance of postoperative patients, but MRI and PET/CT scans are also widely used. Recurrent biliary cancer can manifest as local recurrence, liver metastasis, lymph node metastasis, and peritoneal metastasis. Imaging findings of a locally recurrent tumor or metastatic lymph node enlargement overlaps with benign postoperative changes, thus radiologists commonly overlook subtle CT findings or misinterpret them as benign postoperative changes. There are several reports that FDG-PET scan is more effective in the diagnosis of recurrent biliary tract cancer than CT. Multidisciplinary diagnostic approaches using CT, MRI, and FDG-PET as well as clinical information seem to be essential for the precise diagnosis of recurrent tumors.
