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

objectiveTo characterize the use of portal venous or delayed phase CT as an alternative to estimate washout for the non-invasive diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI in combination with other features.

methodsThis retrospective study included 226 observations (

resultsUsing gadoxetic acid-enhanced, 226 lesions were diagnosed as LR-3 or LR-4 by LI-RADS. Among them, 98 and 152 had "washout" at criteria 1 and 2, respectively. For the diagnosis of HCC, criteria 2 and 3 showed significantly higher sensitivities (67.3 and 92.5%, respectively) compared with criteria 1 (35.5%) (

conclusionAlthough the LI-RADS lexicon does not permit the interchange of image features among various image modalities, the sensitivity of HCC diagnosis could be improved without any decrease in specificity by adding CT image washout features. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Although the LI-RADS lexicon does not permit the interchange of image features among various image modalities, complementary use of dynamic CT in LR-3 or LR-4 categories on the basis of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI may contribute to major imaging feature.
