Improving recognition of hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumor: Case report and literature review.
Synthesis in World journal of gastroenterology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
A 58-year-old man presented with the chief complaint of abdominal bloating and was incidentally found to have a liver tumor. As diagnostic imaging studies could not rule out malignancy, the patient underwent partial resection of segment 3 of the liver. The lesion pathologically showed eosinophilic proliferation, in addition to immunohistochemical positivity for human melanoma black 45 and Melan-A, thereby leading to the diagnosis of a hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa). A PEComa arising from the liver is relatively rare. Moreover, the name 'PEComa' has not yet been widely recognized, and the same disease entity has been called epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML), further diminishing the recognition of PEComa. In addition, PEComa imaging findings mimic those of malignant liver tumors, and clinically, this tumor tends to enlarge. Therefore, a PEComa is difficult to diagnose. We conducted a systematic review of PEComa and EAML cases and discuss the results, including findings useful for differentiating perivascular epithelioid cell tumors from malignant liver tumors.
