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

Epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a rare subtype of angiomyolipomas. Unlike the conventional angiomyolipomas, EAML often contains minimal fat which usually precludes prospective diagnosis on imaging. The imaging findings of EAML may overlap with other benign and malignant hepatic neoplasms. We report a hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma in a 47-year-old female which metastasized to the right kidney and recurred after resection in the liver. We analyze the imaging findings of EAML on ultrasound, computed tomography, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Correlation between the imaging and histopathologic findings is made. The estimated annual growth and doubling time of the primary hepatic EAML are calculated. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published report of positron emission tomography-computed tomography findings and annual growth rate for hepatic EAML.
