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

clinical/methodical issueThe diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-especially the characterization of small lesions <2 cm-continues to be a radiological challenge. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsIn the current S3 guideline on diagnosis and therapy of HCC, contrast-enhanced imaging examinations, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are still the diagnostic standard. METHODOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS: HCC in the cirrhotic liver should be diagnosed by its typical contrast-enhanced pattern in the MRI. In addition, the use of quality assurance instruments such as LI-RADS (Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System) contributes to the desired consistency of findings, even with small ambiguous findings. PERFORMANCE: Many studies have shown that the LI-RADS classification reflects the likelihood of HCC and other malignant liver lesions. ACHIEVEMENTS: Guidelines and quality assurance instruments contribute to a more precise diagnosis in patients with suspected HCC. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: A guideline-compliant diagnostic algorithm and the LI-RADS should be used across the board for accurate HCC diagnostics.
