Imaging Negative Hepatic Lesions: A Rare Case of Infiltrative Hepatocellular Carcinoma Diagnosed With Endoscopic Ultrasound.

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 is a common malignancy with male predominance. It is further classified into different subtypes, among which the infiltrative subtype is the most difficult to diagnose with imaging because of its inherently ill-defined micro nodules involving a segment or entire hepatic parenchyma without a distinguishable mass. Owing to the aggressive nature and decreased survival expectations in most patients with infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplants and surgical resections are not recommended. Our case describes a middle-aged woman presenting with alpha-fetoprotein >20,000 and imagings negative for hepatic mass, thereby necessitating the use of endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration.
