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

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. The most important determinant of survival and prognosis is the stage and presence of metastasis. The liver is the most common location for CRC metastasis. The only curative treatment for CRC liver metastasis (CRLM) is resection; however, many patients are ineligible for surgical resection of CRLM. Locoregional treatments such as ablation and intra-arterial therapy are also available for patients with CRLM. Assessment of response after chemotherapy is challenging due to anatomical and functional changes. Antiangiogenic agents such as bevacizumab that are used in the treatment of CRLM may show atypical patterns of response on imaging. It is vital to distinguish patterns of response in addition to toxicities to various treatments. Imaging plays a critical role in evaluating the characteristics of CRLM and the approach to treatment. CT is the modality of choice in the diagnosis and management of CRLM. MRI is best used for indeterminate lesions and to assess response to intra-arterial therapy. PET-CT is often utilized to detect extrahepatic metastasis. State-of-the-art imaging is critical to characterize patterns of response to various treatments. We herein review the imaging characteristics of CRLM with an emphasis on imaging changes following the most common CRLM treatments.
