Multifocal Nodular Fatty Infiltration of the Liver: A Rare Benign Disorder That Mimics Metastatic Liver Disease.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Fatty liver disease is a frequent diagnosis. Rarely, it adopts a multifocal nodular pattern mimicking multiple liver metastases. Multifocal nodular fatty infiltration of the liver entails a challenging problem that must be included as a differential diagnosis when dealing with healthy patients with an incidental finding of multiple liver lesions, even in the absence of obesity or metabolic syndrome. A complete clinical examination and high-quality imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging, might help to confirm diagnosis and to avoid unnecessary liver biopsies.
