Classification of hepatocellular carcinoma Ki-67 expression status by a simple combination of magnetic resonance slow diffusion coefficient (SDC) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC): initial promising results.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Twenty-two hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases were retrospectively collected from Sichuan Cancer Hospital, Chengdu, China. All were singular lesions with a median size of 4.3 cm. HCC lesions were categorized into low (<20%) and high (≥20%) Ki-67 labeling index (LI) groups. Slow diffusion coefficient (SDC) was derived from
