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 problemColorectal metastases are the most common malignant liver lesions. Imaging of the liver in patients with colorectal carcinoma is performed for early detection of liver metastases (CRLM) at the time of initial tumor diagnosis, for monitoring and follow-up in order to exclude or diagnose metachronous metastases. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsRadiological imaging includes primarily multislice computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which play an important role regarding therapeutic management and assessment of prognosis. PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVEMENTS: Contrast-enhanced CT is broadly available and allows for rapid image acquisition including the possibility for complete tumor staging. MRI, on the other hand, is characterized by very good soft tissue contrast and has-especially with the use of diffusion-weighted imaging and administration of liver-specific contrast agents-the highest sensitivity for detection of metastases smaller than 1 cm. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: The choice of imaging in daily routine is often dependent on availability and clinical question. Frequently, e.g. for assessment of resectability (extent of metastases, anatomic relation of lesions to critical structures), both modalities may be implemented in combination.
