Hepatic adenoma rupture following portal vein embolization.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hepatic adenomas are benign liver tumors typically found in females of reproductive age. Though benign, hepatic adenomas are highly vascularized tumors, thus rupture and consequent hemorrhage present a feared complication. We report a case of a 31-year-old woman with hepatic adenoma who underwent preoperative portal vein embolization and subsequently suffered a rupture of her tumor. We postulate that the change in blood flow after portal vein embolization, a phenomenon known as the hepatic artery buffer response, may have contributed to the tumor rupture, though the possibility that the rupture was purely incidental remains. There is currently no prior report of such rupture occurring following portal vein embolization, and this case brings to light a potentially fatal complication of a generally safely regarded procedure in patients with hepatic adenoma.
