Primary Hepatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Arising at a Young Age: Rare Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in The Korean journal of gastroenterology = Taehan Sohwagi Hakhoe chi, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are low-grade malignancies arising from neuroendocrine cells. Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are extremely rare and difficult to differentiate from other liver tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or cholangiocarcinoma. A 22-year-old male presented with intermittent abdominal pain. A preoperative imaging study revealed a 5.1cm-sized heterogeneously enhancing mass in S6 of the liver, suggesting HCC. Laparoscopic right hepatectomy was performed, and a well-demarcated brown solid mass was found. The pathology report revealed a neuroendocrine tumor of the liver. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography was performed postoperatively to exclude extrahepatic lesions, and no lesions were found. This is a rare case of PHNET that developed at a young age and was misdiagnosed as HCC preoperatively. This suggests that PHNET should be considered one of the differential diagnoses when a non-specific enhanced hepatic tumor is found, even when the patient is young.
