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

This report presents the case of a unique hepatocellular nodule occurring in a 73-year-old Japanese male with diabetes mellitus and mild obesity. The nodule consisted of hepatocyte-like tumor cells and abundant foam cell type histiocytes that filled up a sinusoid-like space and formed central loose fibrosis. The superficial area did not contain as many histiocytes and showed hepatocellular adenoma character, but there was a focal hepatocellular carcinoma-like lesion, thus suggesting hepatocellular adenoma with malignant transformation. The background liver showed an almost normal histology except for mild steatosis with no specific infiltration of macrophages. These macrophages contained abundant fat droplets, whereas the tumor cells had no fat droplets. The expressions of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and macrophage colony-stimulating factor were significantly higher in the tumor than in the background liver. These findings suggested such macrophage infiltration induced by the tumor cells and these macrophages probably phagocytosed surplus fat at the intercellular space of this unique tumor.
