Comparison between CT volumetry, technetium
Article in European radiology, 2024. 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
objectivesTo compare the efficacy of computed tomography volumetry (CTV), technetium
methodsThis retrospective study included 91 consecutive patients who had undergone preoperative dynamic CT and
resultsAccording to the multivariable logistic regression analysis, SV/BSA (odds ratio [OR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.003-1.02; p = 0.011), LSR (OR, 0.06; 95%CI, 0.004-0.70; p = 0.026), and hyaluronic acid (OR, 1.01; 95%CI, 1.001-1.02; p = 0.024) were independent variables for severe LF (F3-4). Combined SV/BSA, LSR, and hyaluronic acid correctly estimated severe LF, with an AUC of 0.91, which was significantly larger than the AUCs of the GSA index (AUC = 0.84), SV/BSA (AUC = 0.83), or LSR (AUC = 0.75) alone.
conclusionsCombined CTV, EOB-MRI, and hyaluronic acid analyses improved the estimation accuracy of severe LF compared to CTV, EOB-MRI, or CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The combined analysis of spleen volume on CT volumetry, liver-to-spleen ratio on gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic-acid-enhanced MRI, and hyaluronic acid can identify severe liver fibrosis associated with a high risk of liver failure after hepatectomy and recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. KEY POINTS: • Spleen volume of CT volumetry normalised to the body surface area, liver-to-spleen ratio of EOB-MRI, and hyaluronic acid were independent variables for liver fibrosis. • CT volumetry and EOB-MRI enable the detection of severe liver fibrosis, which may correlate with post-hepatectomy liver failure and complications. • Combined CT volumetry, gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic-acid-enhanced MRI (EOB-MRI), and hyaluronic acid analyses improved the estimation of severe liver fibrosis compared to technetium
