Hepatocellular carcinoma with vertebral metastasis in a child with hepatitis B virus infection: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2019. 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
backgroundHepatocellular carcinoma in children with hepatitis B virus infection is rarely reported. Metastases to the vertebrae are an even more unusual phenomenon. CASE PRESENTATION: We report on a case of a 10-year-old Ethiopian boy with hepatitis B infection presenting with paraplegia and incontinence of 10 days' duration. A diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma with vertebral metastases was confirmed with serum α-fetoprotein, fine-needle aspirate cytology, and abdominal imaging.
conclusionSurveillance of children not immunized against hepatitis B virus prevents infection and its complications, such as hepatocellular carcinoma. Among children in endemic countries prone to development of hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic disease can present as sudden weakness of extremities with radiologic findings of vertebral body collapse.
