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

objectivesOur aim was twofold. First, to validate Anali scores with and without gadolinium (ANALI MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 123 patients with a mean age of 41.5 years, who underwent gadoxetic acid-enahnced MRI (GA-MRI). Five readers independently evaluated all images for calculation of ANALI

resultsInter-reader agreement was almost perfect (ϰ = 0.81) for PFS, but only moderate-(ϰ = 0.55) for binary ANALI

conclusionANALI CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The combined use of Anali scores and the potential functional stricture (PFS), both derived from unenhanced-, and gadoxetic acid enhanced-MRI, could be applied as a diagnostic and prognostic imaging surrogate for counselling and monitoring primary sclerosing cholangitis patients. KEY POINTS: Primary sclerosing cholangitis patients require radiological monitoring to assess disease stability and for the presence and type of complications. A contrast-enhanced MRI algorithm based on potential functional stricture and ANALI scores risk-stratified these patients. Unenhanced ANALI score had a high negative predictive value, indicating some primary sclerosing cholangitis patients can undergo non-contrast MRI surveillance.
