Two-point Dixon and six-point Dixon magnetic resonance techniques in the detection, quantification and grading of hepatic steatosis.
Article in World journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundHepatic steatosis is a very common problem worldwide.
aimTo assess the performance of two- and six-point Dixon magnetic resonance (MR) techniques in the detection, quantification and grading of hepatic steatosis.
methodsA single-center retrospective study was performed in 62 patients with suspected parenchymal liver disease. MR sequences included two-point Dixon, six-point Dixon, MR spectroscopy (MRS) and MR elastography. Fat fraction (FF) estimates on the Dixon techniques were compared to the MRS-proton density FF (PDFF). Statistical tests used included Pearson's correlation and receiver operating characteristic.
resultsFF estimates on the Dixon techniques showed excellent correlation (≥ 0.95) with MRS-PDFF, and excellent accuracy [area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) ≥ 0.95] in: (1) Detecting steatosis; and (2) Grading severe steatosis, (
conclusionDixon techniques performed satisfactorily for the evaluation of hepatic steatosis but with exceptions.
