Current Update on DWI-MRI and Its Radiomics in Liver Fibrosis-A Review of the Literature.
Review in Tomography (Ann Arbor, Mich.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionDiffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a non-invasive technique for acquiring liver pathology data and characterizing liver lesions. This modality shows promise for applications in the initial diagnosis and monitoring of liver diseases, providing valuable insights for clinical assessment and treatment strategies. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) are advanced forms of DWI. These techniques have proven effective for assessing liver lesions, including liver tumors and fibrosis. However, the results can be inconsistent. Thus, it is essential to summarize the current applications of these methods in liver fibrosis, identify existing limitations, and suggest future directions for development.
methodsThis review assessed studies concerning liver DWI and its applications published in the PubMed database over the last nine years. It presents these techniques' fundamental principles and key factors before discussing their application in liver fibrosis. RESULTS AND
conclusionsIt has been observed that advanced DWI sequences remain unreliable in ensuring the robustness and reproducibility of measurements when assessing liver fibrosis grades, due to inconsistent results and significant overlap among these techniques across different stages of fibrotic conditions.
