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

Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a common complication of ineffective erythropoiesis and bone marrow replacement disorders. Because of its nonspecific presentation and radiological appearance, diagnosing focal intrahepatic extramedullary hematopoiesis is challenging and often misdiagnosed as a hepatic tumor. Herein, we describe the case of a 48-year-old male with thalassemia and AE Bart's disease with secondary hemochromatosis and cirrhosis who developed focal intrahepatic extramedullary hematopoiesis mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma. After hepatic resection, extramedullary hematopoiesis was not observed at any site, including in the remaining liver, at the 4-year follow-up.
