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

This case report presents the diagnostic workup of liver malignancy incidentally detected in a 72-year-old male patient on routine body computed tomography angiography (CTA) performed for planning transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The patient initially presented to an outside hospital with chest discomfort, where routine diagnostic procedures in the emergency room revealed grade III aortic valve stenosis. Routine CTA for TAVI planning in our department then revealed tumor thrombosis of the portal vein suspicious for hepatic malignancy. In contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) only the left hepatic lobe was inhomogeneously transformed with early arterial contrast enhancement. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a primary hepatic malignancy involving the left liver. Transcutaneous biopsy with ultrasound guidance established the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Incidental findings may be of prognostic relevance for the patient and in a number of cases, TAVI can be a prerequisite for the appropriate therapy.
