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

purposeTo construct an imaging model based on preoperative gadoxetic acid- enhanced MRI for predicting lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) and explore its impact on survival.

methodA total of 91 patients with CRLM were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The liver lesions were categorized into two groups, with LVI and without LVI by pathological examination. The long diameter, vascular penetration sign, peritumoral hepatobiliary phase (HBP) hypointensity and other qualitative signs were evaluated. The mean value and standard deviation (SD) value of signal intensity (SI) of the liver lesion and the region with 5-mm tumor expansion were recorded. The relative enhancement rate (RER) was calculated on each phase. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to construct the imaging model (LVI

resultsThe vascular penetration sign (odds ratio [OR] = 30.052, p<0.001) and SD of tumor on HBP (SD

conclusionThe imaging model based on vascular penetration sign and SD
