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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has historically developed in the setting of known risk factors-chronic liver disease from viral hepatitis and cirrhosis. In the absence of a risk factor, the development of HCC was rare. However, the increasing prevalence of nonalcoholic liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, the paradigm is shifting. Currently, no HCC screening guidelines exist for these patients. We report a 30-year-old man with a medical history of treated nonseminomatous germ cell testicular cancer who presented with asymptomatic transaminitis. Subsequent workup was notable for a 1.6-cm liver lesion. The patient underwent a left lobe wedge resection with pathology demonstrating a well-differentiated HCC in a background of hepatic steatosis.
