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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsLiver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) provides standardized lexicon and categorization for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is limited knowledge about the effect of LI-RADS training. We prospectively explored whether the systematic training of LI-RADS v2018 on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can effectively improve the diagnostic performances of different radiologists for HCC.

methodsA total of 20 visiting radiologists and the multiparametric MRI of 70 hepatic observations in 61 patients with high risk of HCC were included in this study. The LI-RADS v2018 training procedure included three times of thematic lectures (each lasting for 2.5 h) given by a professor specialized in imaging diagnosis of liver, with an interval of a month. After each seminar, the radiologists had a month to adopt the algorithm into their daily work. The diagnostic performances and interobserver agreements of these radiologists adopting the algorithm for HCC diagnosis before and after training were compared.

resultsA total of 20 radiologists (male/female, 12/8; with an average age of 36.75±4.99 years) were enrolled. After training, the interobserver agreements for the LI-RADS category for all radiologists (

conclusionsThe systematic training of LI-RADS can effectively improve the diagnostic performances of radiologists with different experiences for HCC.
