Advanced primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver with a small cell carcinoma component: an autopsy case report.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Primary adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the liver is a rare subtype of cholangiocarcinoma that comprises both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components. We report a 48-year-old woman with advanced primary ASC and small cell carcinoma of the liver who had extrahepatic metastasis and received multiple chemotherapy regimens. After first presenting with upper abdominal pain, imaging revealed a 10.2 × 9.5 cm mass in the right lobe of the liver with lymph node and lung metastases. A liver tumor biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components, leading to a diagnosis of advanced primary ASC of the liver. The tumor shrank with gemcitabine/cisplatin therapy; however, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and CYFRA levels were increased and the tumor grew. Next, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy using 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin decreased NSE and CYFRA levels and suppressed tumor growth. However, due to tumor growth, she died 14 months post-initial diagnosis. Post-autopsy pathology revealed a mixture of CD56- and synaptophysin-positive small cell carcinoma component in addition to ASC. We report a rare advanced primary ASC with small cell carcinoma of the liver diagnosed at autopsy.
