Preliminary Results of High-Precision Computed Diffusion Weighted Imaging for the Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma at 3 Tesla.
Article in Journal of computer assisted tomography. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo compare the utility of high-precision computed diffusion-weighted imaging (hc-DWI) and conventional computed DWI (cc-DWI) for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at 3 T.
methodsWe subjected 75 HCC patients to DWI (b-value 150 and 600 s/mm). To generate hc-DWI we applied non-rigid image registration to avoid the mis-registration of images obtained with different b-values. We defined c-DWI with a b-value of 1500 s/mm using DWI with b-value 150 and 600 s/mm as cc-DWI, and c-DWI with b-value 1500 s/mm using registered DWI with b-value 150 and 600 s/mm as hc-DWI. A radiologist recorded the contrast ratio (CR) between HCC and the surrounding hepatic parenchyma.
resultsThe CR for HCC was significantly higher on hc- than cc-DWIs (median 2.0 vs. 1.8, P < 0.01).
conclusionThe CR of HCC can be improved with image registration, indicating that hc-DWI is more useful than cc-DWI for the diagnosis of HCC.
