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

Glomus tumors occur preferentially in the subcutaneous tissue of the fingers and toes, but are extremely rare in visceral organs. Although, there have been several reports of glomus tumors in the liver in adult patients, there have yet been no publications reporting glomus tumors of the liver in children. Here, we report a case of an 11-year-old girl who was admitted with a 2-week history of progressive dyspnea on exertion and vomiting. Upon physical examination, she was found to have hypertension and a palpated smooth, firm mass at the epigastrium. Abdominal MRI revealed a well-defined exophytic hypervascular mass with intratumoral hemorrhage at segment 3/4b of the liver. Ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed it to be a glomus tumor. An ultrasound conducted at a 1-month follow-up after preoperative embolization revealed that the mass had decreased in size. A subsequent exploratory laparotomy with left hepatectomy was performed and the histologic results confirmed the diagnosis.
