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

Indeterminate focal liver lesions (FLLs) detected through ultrasonography or single-phase imaging present a diagnostic challenge due to their varied management depending on whether they are benign or malignant. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the diagnostic performance of triple-phase multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in characterizing these lesions by assessing dynamic contrast enhancement across arterial, portal venous and delayed phases. Results showed that triple-phase CT accurately differentiated benign from malignant lesions, with vascular and enhancement patterns providing key diagnostic insights. Malignant lesions exhibited distinct features, including portal venous hypoenhancement and late-phase washout. Thus, we show the high accuracy of triple-phase CT for managing indeterminate FLLs, supporting better clinical decision-making.
