Isolated Polycystic Liver Disease: A Rare Genetic Disorder.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Polycystic liver disease is a rare clinical condition that causes portal hypertension. It constitutes a group of disorders with liver lesions resulting from abnormal development of the embryological ductal system. Isolated polycystic disease with the absence of polycystic kidney disease is considered a rare condition. We present the case of a 46-year-old man who presented with epigastric pain and episodes of hematemesis. Abdominal examination revealed enlarged liver. He underwent a computed tomography scan that revealed innumerable cystic liver lesions with the presence of ascites. Further investigations confirmed abnormal liver functions and portal hypertension. Physicians need to consider this diagnosis in the appropriate clinical settings. Extensive involvement of the liver may lead to persistent severe symptoms requiring liver transplantation.
