Solitary Extrahepatic Intramuscular Metastasis from Cryptogenic Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after curative resection is not uncommon, it primarily recurs in the liver prior to metastatic progression. We report a case of resected pT2N0 cryptogenic HCC that recurred in the superior paracervical musculature without evident intrahepatic recurrence. The patient also developed cervical spine instability requiring urgent neurosurgery. Cryptogenic HCC is thought to arise from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease even without cirrhosis. Unfortunately, it also portends a worse prognosis compared to HCC of other etiologies. This highlights the aggressive behavior of cryptogenic HCC, which warrants further research as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease becomes increasingly common.
