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

Purpose: Tumor delineation plays a critical role in radiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. The incorporation of MRI might improve the ability to correctly identify tumor boundaries and delineation consistency. In this study, we evaluated a novel Multisource Adaptive MRI Fusion (MAMF) method in HCC patients for tumor delineation. Methods: Ten patients with HCC were included in this study retrospectively. Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI at portal-venous phase (T1W Results: Fused MRI showed the highest tumor CNR compared to planning CT and original MR sets in the ten patients. The mean ± SD tumor CNR was 0.72 ± 0.73, 3.66 ± 2.96, 4.13 ± 3.98, 4.10 ± 3.17, 5.25 ± 2.44, and 9.82 ± 4.19 for CT, T1W Conclusion: The results demonstrated that the fused MRI generated using the MAMF method can enhance tumor CNR and improve inter-observer consistency of GTV delineation in HCC as compared to planning CT and four commonly used MR image sets (T1W
