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

aimTo investigate the clinicopathologic profile of hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) of the colon and to improve the diagnostic and treatment level. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe clinical observations and histopathologic and immunohistochemical features of HAC were analyzed.

resultsHAC is usually composed of well-differentiated common adenocarcinoma and hepatoid differentiation. The tumor cells in hepatoid differentiation area are arranged in trabecular or solid shape, with large polygonal tumor cells, and abundant cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical markers showed the HAC cells were positive for Glypican-3, HepPar1, CK19, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), while alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was negative.

conclusionHAC is a rare malignant tumor of the colon. Its diagnosis depends on histopathology and immunohistochemical staining. Surgical resection should be the treatment of choice if possible.
