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
The purpose of this study is to further verify the concept utilizing signal intensity on hepatobiliary phase (HBP) of gadoxetate-enhanced MRI and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) calculated from CT data. Between Jan 2013 and September 2018, consecutive ALD patients who had both quadruple phase CT and gadoxetate-enhanced MRI within six months were retrospectively recruited. Those who had any intervention or disease involvement around gallbladder fossa were excluded. All images were reviewed and ECV was measured by two experienced radiologists. GBFN grades, and their HBP signal intensity or ECV relative to the surrounding background liver (BGL) were analyzed. There were 48 patients who met the inclusion criteria. There were GBFN grade 0/1/2/3 in 11/15/18/4 patients, respectively. The signal intensity on HBP relative to BGL were iso/slightly high/high in 30/15/3 patients, respectively, and ECV ratio (ECV of GBFN divided by that of BGL) was 0.88 ± 0.18, indicating there are more functioning hepatocytes and less fibrosis in GBFN than in BGL. The GBFN grades were significantly correlated to relative signal intensity at HBP (Spearman's rank correlation,
