Unusual cause of intraoperative haemorrhage: a lesson for patient counselling.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a well-known malignant neoplasm of the liver associated with spontaneous haemorrhage in 3%-15% of cases. This complication is life threatening and has a mortality rate of 33%-100%. Despite the frequency and severity of spontaneous haemorrhage, the importance of patient education about this complication has not been highlighted before. There is currently no information available on the NHS UK website, and no publications have addressed the effect of patient education. We present this case report describing a patient who developed classical symptoms of haemorrhage the day before her elective HCC resection, but was unaware of its importance, and thus did not seek medical attention. She was subsequently found to have a large volume haemoperitoneum, anaemia and a ruptured HCC intraoperatively. This case illustrates the significant importance of counselled regarding the symptoms and risk of spontaneous rupture of HCC to prompt early presentation to medical services.
