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

Background: Hepatic sarcomatoid carcinoma (HSC) is an extremely rare malignant tumor typically observed in clinical settings. HSC occurrence is predominantly noted in the right lobe and rarely in the left lobe of the liver. This report presents a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma that occurred in the left outer lobe of the liver, which was accompanied by gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GSTs) in the greater curvature of the stomach. In addition, the patient showed late-stage recurrence of HSC in gastric tissues. Case presentation: A 63-year-old man was concomitantly diagnosed with HSC and GST. The main clinical manifestation was fever. Abdominal computer tomography (CT) and ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy at the local hospital revealed the presence of malignant hepatic tumors. The patient approached our hospital for further treatment. The subsequent electronic gastroscopy showed multiple submucosal tumors (SMT) in the stomach. Owing to the absence of multiple metastases in other regions of the body, we performed left hepatic lobe resection with gastric partial resection. The postoperative pathological analysis confirmed the presence of HSC and GST. The patient reported feeling well 1 month after the surgery, and no obvious space-occupying lesions in other areas were noted Conclusion: HSC shows no characteristic clinical manifestations and is highly malignant. Surgical intervention is the first treatment of choice for patients with HSC. In cases of sarcomatoid cancer occurring in the left lobe of the liver, it is imperative to exercise strict vigilance against the tumor's invasion of the stomach tissue. This is particularly important when the tumor breaks through the capsule of the liver.
