Orthotopic liver transplantation for Management of a Giant Liver Hemangioma: a case report and review of literature.
Review in BMC surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundHepatic hemangioma (HH) is the most common benign tumor of the liver. In special conditions such as rapidly growing tumors, persistent pain, hemorrhage and when pressure effect on adjacent organs exist treatment is indicated. Surgical management is the most common treatment for HH. CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old male patient was diagnosed with HH for 7 years. The initial presentation of the mass was progressive abdominal distention causing early satiety, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, vomiting, dysphagia and weight loss. Later, the patient developed bilateral lower extremity edema. Imaging with computed tomography (CT scan) showed a large mass measuring 32.4*26*3.1 cm which was considered unresectable. The patient underwent a deceased donor liver transplantation. The excised mass was 9 kg. After nine days of hospitalization the patient was discharged in good condition. Three months later, the patient was admitted due to fever and cytomegalovirus infection for which he received intravenous ganciclovir and was discharged. In the latest follow-up the patient had no liver or kidney dysfunction eight months after the transplantation.
conclusionWith appropriate patient selection, liver transplantation can be considered as a treatment option for patients with huge HHs which are life-threatening and surgically unresectable.
