Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Improves the Accuracy of Preoperative Prediction of Vessels Encapsulating Tumor Clusters in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in Journal of hepatocellular carcinoma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with vessels encapsulating tumor clusters (VETC) pattern presents a higher risk of recurrence and metastasis, and the unique vascular structure of the VETC pattern may affect the perfusion and diffusion, and the effect that can be captured by intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM). Therefore, this study used preoperative IVIM to predict VETC pattern in HCC and performed preoperative noninvasive recurrence risk stratification. Patients and Methods: Patients with suspicious HCC were included prospectively. Two radiologists independently evaluated radiologic features and measured apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), true diffusion coefficient ( Results: The consecutive cohort included 116 patients (mean age, 55 years ± 11, 94 men). Twenty-nine of the 116 HCC (25.0%) were VETC HCC. The Conclusion: IVIM enhances the accuracy of preoperative prediction of the VETC pattern and provides preoperative noninvasive risk stratification for HCC recurrence.
