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

Hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a rare type of hepatic tumor. Due to a lack of adequate understanding about this tumor, hepatic EAML is often misdiagnosed as other diseases with similar clinical characteristics such as hepatic cancer. In the present study, 3 cases of hepatic EAML are reported, and the main clinicopathological features of this disease are presented, based on a literature search that included articles published in English between February 2000 and September 2014. A total of 24 hepatic EAML cases were considered, of which, 17 were females and 4 presented multiple liver lesions. Among the patients with single lesions, 2 underwent surgery and relapsed after 5 months and 9 years, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for human melanoma black-45 in the present 3 cases. The aim of the present study was to focus the attention of clinicians on this type of hepatic tumor in order to improve its diagnosis and treatment.
