Unusual location of the glomus tumour in the liver: A case report and literature review.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
rationaleLiver glomus tumor is very rare, and only 6 cases have been reported. Herein, we report another case of liver glomus tumor and the clinicopathological features are summarized. PATIENT CONCERNS: An 18-year-old male patient was admitted due to hypertension and arrhythmia for 4 days. DIAGNOSES: Abdominal enhanced CT revealed a 6.0-cm solid and cystic mass in the left liver lobe. The mass was collected by hepatic lobectomy. Microscopically, the tumor cells were round or oval, and had no malignant features and no evident atypia. Immumohistochemically, tumor cells were positive for positive for SMA and vimentin, but partially positive for syn, CD34 and desmin. He was pathologically diagnosed with liver glomus tumor.
interventionsThe patient underwent a left hepatic lobectomy. OUTCOMES: After surgery, this patient was followed up for 6 months, and metastasis/recurrence was not observed. LESSONS: Primary liver glomus tumor has no specific clinical manifestations, and imaging examinations have limitations for its diagnosis. Immunostaining for SMA and vimentin is necessary to prove the diagnosis. Complete resection is strongly advised and it has a favorable prognosis.
