Diagnostic Performance of KLCA-NCC 2018 Criteria for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Several imaging-based systems have been proposed for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), reflecting geographical differences in the clinical environment for HCC. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the performance of the Korean Liver Cancer Association-National Cancer Center (KLCA-NCC) 2018 criteria for the MRI diagnosis of HCC. Original studies reporting the performance of the KLCA-NCC 2018 criteria for the diagnosis of HCC using MRI were identified in MEDLINE and EMBASE until 29 March 2021. The meta-analytic pooled sensitivity and specificity of the KLCA-NCC 2018 criteria for diagnosing HCC were calculated using a bivariate random-effects model. A meta-regression analysis was performed to explore study heterogeneity further. Eight studies involving 1690 HCCs reported the accuracy of the KLCA-NCC 2018 imaging criteria. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of the definite HCC criteria for diagnosing HCC were 81% (95% confidence interval, 76-85%;
