A case of hepatocellular carcinoma in an elder man with metastasis to the nasopharynx.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The lung, bone, brain, etc are common metastatic sites of hepatocellular carcinoma. Nasopharynx metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma rarely occurs and has not been reported yet. Here we report one case of nasopharynx metastasis from liver in a 50-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (nodular and diffuse-type) in 2014. 6 and underwent interventional therapy for two times afterward. However, he suffered from severe headache in 2014. 8, and head contrast-enhanced MRI scan did not show clues for brain or skulls metastasis. Then the lumbar puncture was performed to examine his cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It showed that cerebrospinal fluid protein (AFP) was extremely higher than the normal level. Then, he developed left blepharoptosis, eye opening obstacle, impaired vision and dysphagia. Positron emission tomography CT (PET-CT) showed that there was multiple bone destruction in skull base, indicating the nasopharyngeal cancer which was proven to be the metastatic tumor from liver histologically by biopsy. Finally, this patient underwent radiotherapy (RT) of nasopharyngeal metastatic tumor and the local symptoms changed for the better.
