Hepatic hemangiomas: the various imaging avatars and its mimickers.
Review in La Radiologia medica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the liver. These lesions are typically asymptomatic, solitary and almost always discovered incidentally, and in recent years with advances in imaging technology these lesions are being detected more frequently. Although, in majority of the cases, the imaging diagnosis of a liver hemangioma is clearly and confidently established, not all hemangiomas present with their characteristic or typical appearance on imaging. Occasionally, these lesions do present with an atypical pattern, and can be confused with other malignant lesions such as hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, mixed hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma and angiosarcoma. In this article, we review with illustrations the diverse imaging appearances of hemangiomas on the commonly used imaging modalities, as well as provide a gamut of common and uncommonly encountered hemangioma mimickers. Knowledge of the various atypical avatars of this benign lesion is important and can help one circumvent diagnostic errors, thereby potentially avoiding unnecessary surgeries.
