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

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can arise throughout the body. Most NETs in the liver are metastatic tumors; primary hepatic NET (PHNET) is extremely rare. A diagnosis of PHNET is very difficult. No single modality can diagnose PHNET by itself, and it often resembles other hypervascular masses of the liver. This paper reports the case of a 51-year old female with a large hepatic mass. Unlike most of PHNETs reported previously, it was composed of a solid mass with mainly multiple cystic lesions, which led to an erroneous diagnosis of hepatic mucinous cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. PHNET with cystic lesions is extremely rare, and the features are not well studied. This case may help physicians suspect PHNET in a differential diagnosis of an atypical hepatic mass.
