Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 3.0T in Rabbit With VX2 Liver Cancer: Diagnostic Efficacy and Correlations With Tumor Size.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Purposes: The purpose of this study was to explore the diagnostic performance of Cho peak area (Cho Are), Cho peak amplitude (Cho Amp), and the combined approach (Cho Are_Amp) in detecting rabbit VX2 liver cancer at the early stage Methods: Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRS were performed to scan the VX2 liver cancer in rabbit. The tumor diameter was measured on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), and the tumor volume was accordingly calculated. Cho Are and Cho Amp were obtained from MRS. The diagnostic performance of Cho Are, Cho Amp, and Cho Are_Amp was assessed by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under ROC curve (AUC), whereas specificity and sensitivity were calculated by the maximum Youden's index. Spearman's correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the relevance between tumor parameters (diameter, volume) and radiological indexes (Cho Are, Cho Amp). Results: ROC curve analysis showed that Cho Amp, Cho Are, and Cho Are_Amp were effective in diagnosing VX2 liver cancer. The AUC of Cho Amp was 0.883, and the specificity and sensitivity were 0.944 and 0.722, respectively ( Conclusion: Cho Are_Amp can be used as an effective tool in diagnosing early-stage VX2 liver cancer with satisfied diagnostic accuracy. Cho Are and Cho Amp were positively correlated with tumor volume and tumor diameter. The results of this study provide further evidence that Cho Amp and Cho Are_Amp of MRS could aid in the early diagnosis of liver cancer.
