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

backgroundRecently, there has been a growing interest in solid benign liver tumors as the understanding of the pathogenesis and molecular underpinning of these lesions continues to evolve. We herein provide an evidence-based review of benign solid liver tumors with particular emphasis on the diagnosis and management of such tumors.

methodsA search of all available literature on benign hepatic tumors through a search of the MEDLINE/PubMed electronic database was conducted.

resultsNew diagnostic and management protocols for benign liver tumors have emerged, as well as new insights into the molecular pathogenesis. In turn, these data have spawned a number of new studies seeking to correlate molecular, clinicopathological, and clinical outcomes for benign liver tumors. In addition, significant advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care have reduced the morbidity and mortality of liver surgery. Despite current data that supports conservative management for many patients with benign liver tumors, patients with severe preoperative symptomatic disease seem to benefit substantially from surgical treatment based on quality of life data.

conclusionFuture studies should seek to further advance our understanding of the underlying pathogenesis and natural history of benign liver tumors in order to provide clinicians with evidence-based guidelines to optimize treatment of patients with these lesions.
