Angiomyolipoma of the Liver: A Rare Benign Tumor Treated with a Laparoscopic Approach for the First Time.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BACKGROUND/
aimEpithelioid angiomyolipoma of the liver is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor that usually presents in adult female patients. It most frequently occurs in the kidney, with the liver being the second most common site of involvement. Angiomyolipoma belongs to a family of tumors arising from perivascular epithelioid cells, but in rare cases may also have cystic features. We report our experience via the first case of hepatic angiomyolipoma treated by laparoscopic approach. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe present the case of a 50-year-old female patient complaining of abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound (US) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a 5 × 3 cm mass located in the left liver lobe. The tumor was resected with a laparoscopic approach. Microscopic examination of the tumor revealed hepatic angiomyolipoma.
resultsTwenty-seven months postoperatively, the patient remains fit and healthy.
conclusionAngiomyolipoma can be removed by laparoscopy.
