CT and MRI of superficial solid tumors.
Review in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Superficial solid masses are common conditions in clinical practice, however, some of which can be easily diagnosed and others would be difficult. Although imaging of superficial masses is not always characteristic, it would be helpful to give a definitive diagnosis or narrow a differential diagnosis. Crossing-section imaging can depicture the masses directly, find some pathognomonic signs and demonstrate their relationship with adjacent structures, which can provide decision support for clinician's reference. Computed tomography (CT) can be used to detect calcifications and bone erosion which could not be seen on radiographs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred way for evaluating soft tissue lesions and provides information on hemorrhage, necrosis, edema, cystic and myxoid degeneration, and fibrosis. Other advantages of MRI are its superior soft tissue resolution and any profile imaging, which can aid the assessment of extension and adjacent infiltration. Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and PET/MRI have been increasingly used in bone and soft tissue sarcomas and provides advantages in the initial tumor staging, tumor grading, therapy assessment, and recurrence detection. Therefore, imaging examination can play an important role in treatment decision making for superficial solid tumors. Here we review the important conditions presenting as superficial mass and show the imaging of typical cases diagnosed in our hospital.
