The Auxiliary Diagnosis and Imaging Characteristics of MRI Combined with CT in Patients with Cholangiocarcinoma.
Article in Journal of oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundPatients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) have poor prognosis and high mortality. Therefore, early detection and early diagnosis are extremely important to control the development of CCA. This study aims to explore the diagnostic effect in patients with CCA and imaging characteristics of MRI combined with CT.
methods109 patients with suspected CCA underwent CT and MRI before diagnosis. The examination results were compared with the "gold standard." ROC curve was drawn to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of MRI combined with CT for CCA patients.
resultsThe diagnosis rate of suspected CCA patients was 95.41%. The diagnostic coincidence rate of CT and MRI examination was 89.42% and 92.31%, respectively. The diagnostic coincidence rate of MRI combined with CT examination was 100.00%. The number of CT delayed enhancement, peripheral bile duct dilatation, and hepatic capsular depression were more than those of MRI. The number of circular enhancement cases in the CT group was less than that in the MRI group. ROC curve results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of MRI combined with CT for the diagnosis of CCA patients were higher than those of MRI or CT alone.
conclusionMRI combined with CT has high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity and can provide imaging evidence for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CCA.
