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

Parenchymal extinction is characterized by the irreversible loss of hepatocytes and their eventual replacement by fibrous tissue, along with the alteration of the sinusoidal architecture and the obstruction of the small portal and hepatic veins. In clinical practice, radiologic modalities are not sufficient for differentiating between parenchymal extinction and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. Herein, we present a case of parenchymal extinction mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with chronic hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis.
