Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: Comparative computed tomography study between two Chinese and two European centres.
Article in Food and waterborne parasitology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The main endemic areas for alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are in Central Europe and Western China, and in >98% of cases, AE manifests in the liver. The aim of this work was to compare European and Chinese patient groups for number, size, and computed tomography (CT) appearance of hepatic AE lesions. A total of 200 CT scans of patients with hepatic AE were evaluated by four blinded, experienced radiologists from two European (Besancon, Ulm) and two Chinese centres (Xining, Urumqi). In addition to noting the number, size, and localisation of the lesions, the radiologists evaluated morphological appearance using the
