Volumetric analysis at abdominal CT: oncologic and non-oncologic applications.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Volumetric analysis is an objective three-dimensional assessment of a lesion or organ that may more accurately depict the burden of complex objects compared to traditional linear size measurement. Small changes in linear size are amplified by corresponding changes in volume, which could have significant clinical implications. Though early methods of calculating volumes were time-consuming and laborious, multiple software platforms are now available with varying degrees of user-software interaction ranging from manual to fully automated. For the assessment of primary malignancy and metastatic disease, volumetric measurements have shown utility in the evaluation of disease burden prior to and following therapy in a variety of cancers. Additionally, volume can be useful in treatment planning prior to resection or locoregional therapies, particularly for hepatic tumours. The utility of CT volumetry in a wide spectrum of non-oncologic pathology has also been described. While clear advantages exist in certain applications, some data have shown that volume is not always the superior method of size assessment and the associated labor intensity may not be worthwhile. Further, lack of uniformity among software platforms is a challenge to widespread implementation. This review will discuss CT volumetry and its potential oncologic and non-oncologic applications in abdominal imaging, as well as advantages and limitations to this quantitative technique.
