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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the value of color Doppler ultrasound and multislice spiral CT (MSCT) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant nodules in the liver.
methodsThe clinical imaging data of 102 patients with nodular hepatocellular carcinoma (hepatocellular carcinoma group) and 50 patients with focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver (FNH group) admitted to our hospital were collected, and their color Doppler ultrasound and MSCT imaging features were retrospectively analyzed to explore the value of their clinical application in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant nodules in the liver.
resultsThe sensitivity, accuracy, and negative predictive value of MSCT in the diagnosis of nodular liver cancer were 94.12%, 92.76%, and 88.24%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of color Doppler ultrasound 79.41%, 84.21%, and 69.12%, and the difference was statistically significant (
conclusionIn conclusion, the value of MSCT in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant liver nodules was significantly better than color Doppler ultrasound.
