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

Focal cystic liver lesions are commonly encountered in routine clinical practice. They represent a broad spectrum of etiologies and can be classified into congenital/developmental, infectious/inflammatory, neoplastic and miscellaneous conditions. As the clinical implications and management strategies differ markedly depending on the underlying etiology, accurate differentiation among the various types of cystic focal liver lesions is of paramount importance. Radiologists should systematically evaluate imaging characteristics, including lesion location, size, presence of septa , and whether the cysts are solitary or multiple, while also assessing cyst complexity and any associated imaging findings. Given the considerable overlap in imaging appearances among cystic liver lesions, correlation of radiologic findings with the clinical presentation and laboratory data is essential to establish a definitive diagnosis or provide a reasonable list of differential diagnoses.
