Characteristic contrast‑enhanced ultrasound findings of hepatic epithelioid haemangioendothelioma: A case report and literature review.
Article in Oncology letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare liver tumor, which is usually diagnosed by pathological examination, since the diagnostic imaging criteria remain to be defined. However, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) may reveal the characteristic features of HEHE to aid diagnosis. In the present study, two-dimensional ultrasound examination of a 38-year-old male patient showed a mass in the right liver. CEUS showed an S5 segment hypoechoic nodule, and imaging features resulted in the diagnosis of HEHE. Surgery was shown to be an appropriate and successful treatment for HEHE. In conclusion, CEUS may be valuable for the diagnosis of HEHE, thereby avoiding the serious consequences of misdiagnosis.
