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

Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare malignant tumor of vascular origin. Classically, HEHE is typically associated with imaging demonstrating multifocal heterogeneously enhancing hepatic nodules and histologic examination revealing mixed epithelioid and dendritic cells in a proliferative fibrous stromal background. While generally described as a low-to-intermediate grade indolent tumor, it is essential to establish the presence or absence of extrahepatic spread when considering transplant candidacy. We describe one case study in which a transplant was denied to a unique metastatic pattern of HEHE to the superior vena cava. This is a previously unreported location of metastasis of HEHE and may serve to broaden our current understanding of potential metastatic sites for this disease.
