Computed tomography imaging features of hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumor: A case report and literature review.
Review in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
rationalePerivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare tumor which is most frequently found in uterus. The tumor arising from liver is extremely uncommon. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 36-year-old female with abdominal distention, cramps, and low-grade fever for over 15 days. The patient had a history of gastric adenocarcinoma with ovarian, celiac lymph nodes, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes metastases. DIAGNOSES: Computed tomography (CT) imaging demonstrated an ill-defined heterogeneous hypo-dense mass in segment 8 (S8) of the liver. Contrast-enhanced CT imaging showed marked enhancement in arterial phase, mild-to-moderate enhancement in portal and equilibrium phases. Tumor-feeding artery was demonstrated from the right hepatic artery by the three-dimensional reconstruction images. Biopsy was performed, and a diagnosis of PEComa was rendered.
interventionsNo intervention for this tumor before liver biopsy. LESSONS: We present a rare case of hepatic PEComa. The information we provided is useful for summarizing the CT features of this kind of tumors. It should be included in differential diagnoses from common hypervascular neoplasms of liver. The final diagnosis is established on histopathological and immunohistochemical studies that are the "gold standard."
