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

Percutaneous ethanol injection is an important localized treatment method for patients presenting with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Among the advantages of percutaneous ethanol injection are its minimal invasiveness, simplicity, low cost and low risk of complications. However, the increasing popularity of percutaneous ethanol injection has resulted in serious adverse effects attributed to individual variations. The present study describes the case of a patient who exhibited acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenic purpura, caused by percutaneous ethanol injection treatment for HCC. This complication was promptly identified, and platelet transfusion and injection of recombinant human interleukin-11 resulted in a rapid recovery of the patient's platelet count. Attention should be given to this rare complication in patients administered percutaneous ethanol injection treatment for HCC.
