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

backgroundFocal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) has very low potential risk, and a tendency to spontaneously resolve. Hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) has a certain malignant tendency, and its prognosis is significantly different from FNH. Accurate identification of HCA and FNH is critical for clinical treatment.

aimTo analyze the value of multi-parameter ultrasound index based on logistic regression for the differential diagnosis of HCA and FNH.

methodsThirty-one patients with HCA were included in the HCA group. Fifty patients with FNH were included in the FNH group. The clinical data were collected and recorded in the two groups. Conventional ultrasound, shear wave elastography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound were performed, and the lesion location, lesion echo, Young's modulus (YM) value, YM ratio, and changes of time intense curve (TIC) were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the indicators that can be used for the differential diagnosis of HCA and FNH. A ROC curve was established for the potential indicators to analyze the accuracy of the differential diagnosis of HCA and FNH. The value of the combined indicators for distinguishing HCA and FNH were explored.

resultsMultivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lesion echo (

conclusionThe combination of lesion echo, YM value and TIC decreasing slope can accurately differentiate between HCA and FNH.
