Fighting rare cancers: lessons from fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.
Review in Nature reviews. Cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
12 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 19 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
The fight against rare cancers faces myriad challenges, including missed or wrong diagnoses, lack of information and diagnostic tools, too few samples and too little funding. Yet many advances in cancer biology, such as the realization that there are tumour suppressor genes, have come from studying well-defined, albeit rare, cancers. Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC), a typically lethal liver cancer, mainly affects adolescents and young adults. FLC is both rare, 1 in 5 million, and problematic to diagnose. From the paucity of data, it was not known whether FLC was one cancer or a collection with similar phenotypes, or whether it was genetically inherited or the result of a somatic mutation. A personal journey through a decade of work reveals answers to these questions and a road map of steps and missteps in our fight against a rare cancer.
