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

We report a case of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) characterized by multiple liver mass lesions in an 82-year-old man. Numerous hypoechoic lesions were observed on ultrasonography and were mainly distributed in the S4, S6, and S7 segments. Plain computed tomography (CT) scans revealed low-density lesions. Dynamic CT images revealed arterial and portal vein branches passing through these lesions, with marginal areas enhanced during the arterial phase. The enhanced areas were extended during the portal venous phase. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) images revealed enhanced vasculature in the early vascular phase. CEUS images obtained in the late vascular phase revealed enhanced areas containing microbubbles extended into the parenchyma; a prolonged enhancement pattern was observed. Kupffer-phase images revealed large portions of the lesion filled with microbubbles and a star-like defect at the center of the nodule. F18-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/CT scans revealed intense FDG uptake by these lesions, which was similar to that by the segments S4, S6, and S7. Liver biopsy revealed diffused eosinophils infiltrated. The patient was closely followed up and was completely cured 11 weeks later without any treatment. This is a rare case of IHES with multiple liver mass lesions, which was well researched using multi-imaging equipment and cured without any treatment.
