Gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging significantly influences the clinical course in patients with colorectal liver metastases.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundGadoxetic acid (Primovist™)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (P-MRI) scans have higher accuracy and increased detection of small colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) compared to CT scans or conventional MRI scans. But, P-MRI scans are still inconsistently acquired in the diagnostic work up of patients with CRLM. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of P-MRI scans on treatment plan proposition and subsequently the clinical course of the patient.
methodsEighty-three consecutive patients with potentially resectable CRLM based on a conventional CT scan underwent P-MRI scanning prior to treatment. Treatment plans proposed by the multidisciplinary team were compared before and after P-MRI scanning and related to the final treatment and diagnosis, the accuracy for the CT scan and P-MRI scan was calculated.
resultsP-MRI scans led to a change of treatment in 15 patients (18%) and alteration of extensiveness of local therapy in another 17 patients (20%). All changes were justified leading to an accuracy of 93% for treatment proposition based on P-MRI scan, compared to an accuracy of 75% for the CT scan.
conclusionsP-MRI scans provide additional information that can aid in proposing the most suitable treatment for patients with CRLM and might prevent short-term reintervention.
