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

Plexiform neurofibroma is mainly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 and is seldom observed in the liver. Its occurrence in the liver without neurofibromatosis type 1 is even rarer. We report an extremely rare case of plexiform neurofibroma of the liver diagnosed by laparoscopic biopsy in a patient without neurofibromatosis type 1. The patient was a 35-year-old man who had neither clinical signs nor any family history of neurofibromatosis type 1. Abdominal ultrasonography, as part of a health screening, had detected a hepatic tumor. Subsequent contrast ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed the tumor extending from the retroperitoneal space around the aorta to the hepatic hilum and distal portal branches in the right hepatic lobe, gallbladder, and left hepatic lobe.
