Inter-reader agreement of abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging for hepatocellular carcinoma detection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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 determine the inter-reader agreement of abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (AMRI) for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore the causes of heterogeneity between the reported results.
methodsOriginal studies reporting the inter-reader agreement of AMRI for detecting HCC were identified in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. The pooled kappa coefficient (κ) was calculated using the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed according to the AMRI protocol (non-contrast [NC]-AMRI, dynamic contrast-enhanced [DCE]-AMRI, and hepatobiliary phase [HBP]-AMRI). Meta-regression analyses were performed to further explore study heterogeneity.
resultsIn the eight included studies (1182 patients), the overall pooled κ was 0.76 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70-0.82; I
conclusionAMRI for detecting HCC showed substantial inter-reader agreement across all examined protocols. NC-AMRI, notably NC-AMRI using only DWI, had relatively low inter-reader agreement. Therefore, DCE-AMRI or HBP-AMRI may be more reliable than NC-AMRI using only DWI.
