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

introductionHemangiomas are common hepatic lesions and are mostly asymptomatic. Operative removal should only be performed when the lesions are symptomatic, and removal of the hemangioma is deemed to be more beneficial than the risk of the operation itself. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: The multiple hemangiomas of our patient were discovered nine years before first symptoms. The patient presented with pulmonary artery embolism due to a compression of the vena cava inferior by a hemangioma in segment I. No other cause of thromboembolic events could be diagnosed. We performed surgical enucleation of the hemangioma, which resulted in the normalization of blood flow in the inferior vena cava. As the inducing factor for clot development was removed, no permanent thrombosis prophylaxis was implicated. DISCUSSION: Pulmonary embolisms owing to compression of the inferior vena cave are rare.

conclusionUntil now to our knowledge, pulmonary embolisms have never been described as an indication for hepatic hemangioma enucleation.
