Magnetic Resonance Features of Liver Mucinous Colorectal Metastases: What the Radiologist Should Know.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess MRI features of mucinous liver metastases compared to non-mucinous metastases and hepatic hemangioma. Methods: A radiological archive was assessed from January 2017 to June 2021 to select patients subjected to liver resection for CRCLM and MRI in the staging phase. We selected 20 patients with hepatic hemangioma (study group B). We evaluated (a) the maximum diameter of the lesions, in millimeters, on T1-W flash 2D in phase and out phase, on axial HASTE T2-W and on portal phase axial VIBE T1 W; and (b) the signal intensity (SI) in T1-W sequences, in T2-W sequences, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) sequences and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps so as to observe (c) the presence and the type of contrast enhancement during the contrast study. The chi-square test was employed to analyze differences in percentage values of the categorical variable, while the non-parametric Kruskal−Wallis test was used to test for statistically significant differences between the median values of the continuous variables. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The final study population included 52 patients (33 men and 19 women) with 63 years of median age (range 37−82 years) and 157 metastases. In 35 patients, we found 118 non-mucinous type metastases (control group), and in 17 patients, we found 39 mucinous type metastases (study group A). During follow-up, recurrence occurred in 12 patients, and three exhibited mucinous types among them. In the study group, all lesions (100%) showed hypointense SI on T1-W, very high SI (similar to hepatic hemangioma) in T2-W with restricted diffusion and iso-hypointense signals in the ADC map. During the contrast study, the main significant feature is the peripheral progressive enhancement.
