Laparoscopic resection for pedunculated focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver during pregnancy.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 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
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is the second most common intrahepatic benign mass lesion; however, extremely rarely, FNH grows in an exophytic manner. It is unclear whether pedunculated FNH can be managed in the same way as intrahepatic FNH. A 35-year-old female presented with right upper quadrant pain, and dynamic enhanced computed tomography revealed an exophytic hyperdense mass lesion originating from the liver, suggesting a pedunculated FNH. Shortly thereafter, she conceived. Since there was a history of acute abdomen, as well as the possibility of torsion of the mass or sudden massive bleeding during pregnancy, laparoscopic resection was performed at 17 weeks of gestation. Her postoperative and pregnancy course was uneventful, and she delivered a baby by cesarean section at 41 weeks of gestation. Our case suggests that pedunculated FNH, unlike typical intrahepatic FNH, may be better managed by laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy, resulting in favorable maternal and fetal outcomes.
