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

AimAim of the study was to differentiate solid liver lesions according to their microvascularization. Therefore, we analyzed perfusion using time intensity curves (TIC) measured during contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE-IOUS).Material and MethodsData of 40 patients who underwent hepatic surgery with the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCC), or liver metastases (LM) were retrospectively collected. CE-IOUS was performed using a linear multifrequency T-probe connected to a high-resolution device. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) loops were recorded, and TIC were analyzed for time to peak (TTP) and area under the curve (AUC) in tumor center, margin and reference tissue.ResultsAnalyses of the tumor center revealed significant higher AUC in HCC lesions than in CCC (
