Case report: Sclerosed hemangioma of the liver: A diagnostic challenge.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hemangiomas are the most common noncystic benign hepatic tumors and are usually incidentally discovered during routine radiological examinations. The diagnosis of hepatic hemangiomas with a typical presentation is generally easy with plain and cross-sectional imaging; however, it can be complicated when hemangiomas undergo histological changes such as fibrosis. Sclerosed hepatic hemangioma (SHH) is the extreme presentation of this fibrotic process. These atypical lesions can be misdiagnosed as primary hepatic malignancies or metastasis. Their diagnosis is established by histological examination. We report the case of a patient with an SHH, which was misdiagnosed as an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. This article's aim is to draw attention to this infrequent pathology and underline the features of this benign tumor that could suggest its diagnosis prior to surgery to avoid unnecessary hepatic resections.
