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

backgroundMalignant mesothelioma commonly arises from the pleura, but can also arise from the peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis testis. However, malignant mesothelioma of the liver is extremely rare and coexistence with malignant mesothelioma of the greater omentum has not been described in the literature. In this case report, we present a case of multiple malignant mesothelioma of the liver and greater omentum. CASE PRESENTATION: A 36-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for the evaluation of an elastic hard mass in the right upper abdomen. Abdominal contrast computed tomography showed a cystic mass measuring 13 × 14 × 11 cm in the right liver lobe with enhanced mural nodule. Abnormal accumulation was identified in the liver and lower abdominal area on

conclusionsWe present the first case of a 36-year-old woman with multiple malignant mesothelioma of the liver and greater omentum.
