Overall diagnostic accuracy of different MR imaging sequences for detection of dysplastic nodules: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo assess the overall diagnostic accuracy of different MR imaging sequences in the detection of the dysplastic nodule (DN).
methodsPubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were systematically searched. Study selection and data extraction were conducted by two authors independently. Quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies (QUADAS) 2 in RevMan software was used to score the included studies and assess their methodological quality. A random-effects model was used for statistical pooling by Meta-Disc. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were used to explore potential sources of heterogeneity.
resultsFourteen studies (335 DN lesions in total) were included in our meta-analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) of summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) of T
conclusionMR sequences, particularly DWI, arterial phase, and hepatobiliary phase imaging demonstrate high diagnostic accuracy for DN. KEY POINTS: • MRI has dramatically improved the detection and accurate diagnosis of DNs and their differentiation from hepatocellular carcinoma. • Overall diagnostic accuracy of different MRI sequences in the detection of DN has not been studied before. • Our meta-analysis demonstrates that MRI achieves a high diagnostic value for DN, especially when using DWI, arterial phase imaging, and hepatobiliary phase imaging.
