Hepatic Xanthogranuloma that Originated from a Liver Cyst and Mimicked a Malignant Tumor.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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
BACKGROUND/
aimHepatic xanthogranuloma is a very rale disease and formation process is unknown. CASE REPORT: A 69-year-old woman previously diagnosed as simple liver cyst. Two years before, a 36-mm liver cyst was found in segment 5, while one year later, the hemorrhagic cyst was 40 mm in diameter and a thin septum had formed. The most recent T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a regular 21-mm hepatic mass with a hyperintense 11-mm center and a hypointense periphery. Peripheral enhancement was seen on gadolinium enhanced MRI. Hepatobiliary cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma was suspected because of wall thickness and slight enhancement. Microscopic examination following laparoscopic partial liver resection revealed fibroblasts, dense collagen fibers, and a double layer of hemosiderin-laden as well as foamy macrophages attached to the fibrous capsule.
conclusionThe patient was diagnosed with a hepatic xanthogranuloma that originated from a hemorrhagic liver cyst. Intracystic hemorrhage may be one of the reasons for hepatic xanthogranuloma formation.
