The spectrum of multimodality imaging findings in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis and the potential role of diffusion-weighted imaging in its characterisation.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2020. 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
purposeTo study the spectrum of imaging findings in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) and to evaluate the potential role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in its characterisation. MATERIAL AND
methodsTwo radiologists with more than seven years of experience retrospectively studied ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in 23 histopathologically proven cases of HAE with emphasis on the appearance and extent of disease. DWI characteristics of lesions were noted, and their apparent diffusion values (ADC) were calculated.
resultsUltrasonography features of HAE included heterogeneous, hyperechoic hepatic mass with or without calcification (
conclusionsHAE by virtue of its infiltrative growth pattern with a tendency to involve biliary, vascular, and extra hepatic structures can be easily misdiagnosed as malignant hepatic neoplasm. Knowledge of varied imaging appearances of HAE is essential to suspect the condition and to make an appropriate diagnosis. Diffusion-weighted imaging is a useful adjunct with relatively high diffusivity (high ADC values) suggesting diagnosis of alveolar hydatid.
