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

Spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are rare. Most cases present with acute abdominal pain and hemorrhagic shock. Various modalities of treatment are available which range from conservative treatment to surgical excision of the tumour. Various factors have to be considered when deciding on the treatment, but patient prognostic factors is the key in decision making. In this case we decided on an early laparotomy and surgical excision of the tumor since the patient was hemodynamically stable and as the omentum adhered to the site of rupture. Treatment in these cases requires a multidisciplinary approach to decide on the best possible procedure for each case.
