Multifocal Nodular Fatty Sparing Mimicking Hepatic Tumors.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Hepatic steatosis is frequent; however, it may present with unusual patterns, resulting in a diagnostic dilemma. Herein, we present a case of fatty liver and multifocal nodular hepatic lesions that were found to be due to multifocal nodular fatty sparing, which mimics metastasis or primary multifocal tumors. As the differential diagnosis of such lesions can be difficult based on ultrasound alone, the knowledge of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings is crucial. It enables the radiologists to make the correct diagnosis and alleviate the patient from unnecessary biopsies.
