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

Liver nodules are one of the common and complex clinical conditions, with certain ones developing into malignant lesions, hence significantly affecting patient prognosis. The detection rate of liver nodules has significantly improved with advances in modern imaging technology; however, there is still a lack of unified guidance on their diagnosis, treatment, and management. The "Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management of Liver Nodules (version 2026)" systematically summarizes and standardizes aspects of liver nodules, including definition, classification, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, through multidisciplinary collaboration based on the latest domestic and international research findings and expert clinical experience. This article emphasizes the importance of multidimensional assessment for liver nodules, including quantity, size, liver imaging reports, classification in data management systems, and pathological type. The implementation of individualized screening in high-risk populations is recommended at least once every six months starting at age 40, while for those with liver cirrhosis, malignant liver nodules, or a family history of liver cancer, screening should begin at age 30. The diagnostic strategy integrates systematic medical history, physical examination, imaging, and the detection of multiple serum marker collections. The usage of scoring models such as aMAP, GALAD, and GAAD highlights the diagnostic value of liver pathology and advocates a multidisciplinary team approach for risk assessment. Treatment plans emphasize individualization and involve etiological treatment, surgical therapy, interventional therapy, radiotherapy and systemic therapy. The aim of this consensus is to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of liver nodules, enhance precision, implement graded management, enable early differentiation between benign and malignant liver nodules, and improve patient prognosis.
