Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver: a case report.
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma (HMH) is a hamartomatous growth of the mesenchymal tissue in the liver, which is of an uncertain aetiology. It is a space-occupying lesion that can potentially compress the adjacent organs, resulting in various complications, which include death. Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is characterized by the variable proliferation of the myxomatous mesenchyme and the malformed bile ducts. The differential diagnosis includes other paediatric hepatic masses. The diagnosis is typically made during infancy, and a complete resection is invariably curative. Here, we are reporting a case of HMH in a one year old female child who presented with abdominal distension. A clinical diagnosis of malignancy was made, based on the symptoms and imaging studies and a final diagnosis was made only after a histopathological examination. The lesion was potentially benign, with very rare chances of recurrence. This case has been presented due to its rarity.
