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

Accurate and automated diagnosis of focal liver lesions is critical for effective radiological practice and patient treatment planning. This study presents a deep learning model specifically developed for classifying focal liver lesions across eight different MRI sequences, categorizing them into seven distinct classes. The model includes a feature extraction module that derives multi-level representations of the lesions, a feature fusion attention module to integrate contextual information from the various sequences, and an attention-guided data augmentation module to enrich the training dataset. The proposed model achieved a patient-wise classification accuracy of 0.9302 and a lesion-wise accuracy of 0.8592, along with an F1-score of 0.8395, a recall of 0.8296, and a precision of 0.8551. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of combining multi-sequence MRI with advanced deep learning methodologies, providing a robust tool to support radiologists in accurately classifying liver lesions in clinical settings.
