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

A 28-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for liver dysfunction and neck pain. Blood tests revealed elevated liver enzymes and eosinophilia. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass lesion near the hepatic hilus. The tumor was considered to be an inflammatory pseudo-tumor or malignancy. A liver-mass biopsy was performed and led to a diagnosis of inflammatory pseudo-tumor. In the present case, a markedly elevated eosinophil count was a characteristic clinical feature, and the patient underwent steroid therapy. Treatment resulted in a reduced eosinophil count, improved neck symptoms, and disappearance of the inflammatory pseudo-tumor.
