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

rationaleHepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is a rare extrahepatic adenocarcinoma that histologically resembles hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HAC of peritoneal cavity can present as a solitary mass or disseminated nodules indicating different treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this study, we present the cases of a 29-year-old man and a 64-year-old woman who suffered from HAC. DIAGNOSIS: The serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) of both patients and ascites of 1 patient were markedly elevated. One patient presented with multiple nodular disseminated in the peritoneal cavity and the other patient has a mass between the left diaphragm and the spleen on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

interventionThe first patient underwent laparoscopic examination and multiple nodules were found in the peritoneal cavity, and only received chemotherapy. The second patient underwent surgery and resected the mass between left diaphragm and the spleen. OUTCOME: Histological examinations showed the nodule of the peritoneal cavity and mass belong to moderately differentiated HCC. HAC has a poor prognosis, but the 2 patients responded well to treatment. LESSON: HAC is frequently associated with elevated serum AFP without neoplasm in the liver. Histological and Immunohistochemistry examinations can help differential diagnosis.
