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 report documents a unique multicystic neoplasm of the liver in an 8-month-old boy with a heterozygous germline pathogenic DICER1 variant. This neoplasm, initially considered most likely a mesenchymal hamartoma based on imaging, demonstrated the characteristic histologic pattern of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma residing in the subepithelial or cambium layer-like zone of the epithelial-lined cysts. Thus, although the differential diagnosis includes mesenchymal hamartoma, a young child with a multicystic mass lesion in the liver, lung, or kidney should both raise the possibility of a germline pathogenic DICER1 variant and also not be mistaken for one of the other hepatic neoplasms of childhood.
