Pure hepatocellular carcinoma originates from an ectopic liver nodule located in the pancreas.

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
Ectopic liver (EL) is a rare congenital abnormality, which is localised most commonly in the wall of the gallbladder. Histoarchitectural abnormalities, which lead to impaired transfer of blood and bile, as well as well demarcation, are characteristic features of ectopic liver nodules. Both features may explain the discrepancies between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases originating from ectopic liver in comparison to HCC cases originating from orthotopic liver: the strong propensity of ectopic liver to the development of HCC. The latter feature may be linked to the better treatment prognosis in patients with HCC originating from ectopic liver tissue in comparison to those with HCC within orthotopic liver. In this paper, we discuss these differences based on a unique case of pure HCC, which developed in a small ectopic liver nodule in the pancreas.
