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

Aim of the study: To review the findings of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) in synchronous hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other solid malignancies. Material and methods: A total of 74 cases were included in this retrospective analysis, all of them confirmed with a diagnosis of synchronous HCC and other solid malignancies. They were 41 women and 33 men (mean age, 63.36 years). The whole body and triphasic abdominal CT scanning utilized 128 MDCT scanners in all 74 patients. The pathological diagnoses of all 148 malignancies were confirmed in all 74 cases. Results: Out of 3480 patients with HCC, 74 patients (2.1%) were diagnosed with another synchronous primary solid malignancy. The pathology of all 148 cancers was verified, and each one was correctly characterized, assessed, and staged. Hepatocellular carcinoma was detected in all 74 patients. The most frequent extra-hepatic primary malignant sites were breast (18/74, 24.3%), followed by kidney (15/74, 20.3%), lymphoma (9/74, 12.2%), uterus (7/74, 9.5%), ovary (5/74, 6.8%), colon (5/74, 6.8%), prostate (5/74, 6.8%), urinary bladder (3/74, 4.1%), thyroid (2/74, 2.7%), gall bladder (1/74, 1.4%), stomach (1/74, 1.4%), pancreas (1/74, 1.4%), esophagus (1/74, 1.4%) and lung (1/74, 1.4%). Conclusions: The possibility of synchronous double malignancies with HCC should always be considered during pretreatment evaluation. Using an MDCT scanner, researchers were able to assess this occurrence accurately. An increased number of such findings may lead to an improved therapeutic method for these patients.
