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

We report a case of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) of the liver in a 72-year-old woman without any symptoms. To our knowledge, only 11 other cases of this disease have ever been reported. The lesion was found incidentally during a medical examination, as a hypoechoic mass in segment 3 of the liver on ultrasonography. The findings of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography suggested a malignancy. Frozen section diagnosis of an intraoperative needle biopsy suggested malignant lymphoma, so we performed lateral segmentectomy of the liver. Macroscopically, the tumor was well defined, white, and firm. Microscopically, there was polymorphous lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, with various-sized and -shaped lymphoid follicles. Lymphocytic infiltration was also observed in the portal tracts around the nodular lesion. Immunohistochemical study revealed polyclonality, confirming a pathological diagnosis of RLH of the liver. We discuss the clinicopathologic characteristics of this unusual disease.
