Extracapsular Hepatocellular Adenoma: A Diagnostic Dilemma.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) is a benign neoplasm of the hepatic parenchyma. The use of oral contraceptives (OCP) in women is the most well-established risk for the development of HCA. HCA commonly presents as an intracapsular mass of the liver but there are very few cases of extracapsular HCA. This is a case of a middle-aged female who presented to the emergency department with left shoulder pain and epigastric tenderness on physical exam. Subsequent imaging of the abdomen revealed a mass arising from the anterior wall of the stomach, with evidence of surrounding hemorrhage. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy that revealed free blood in the peritoneum and a hemorrhagic mass arising from the stomach wall. The mass was successfully removed with no postoperative complications. Histopathological examination of the mass was consistent with an infarcted inflammatory HCA. This case illustrates this unusual presentation of a rare diagnosis.
